I liked Erin Obrien's Prenatal Fitness Fix dvd. I did that a lot through both of my pregnancies.

I really liked Lindsey Brin's Post Natal bootcamp dvd, I bet she has a good prenatal one as well.

I kept doing low-impact aerobics at the gym, and YOGA. (Sorry, never used DVDs.) Also, walking, walking, walking. :-)

I still do my very normal workouts, and only modify when necessary. I do Kettleworx kettlebell workout DVDs once a week, and then 3 times a week I do elliptical plus weight training (lunges, biceps, triceps, planks for ab strength, everything I did before minus crunches). I would jog, but the bladder can't handle the bouncing, otherwise that would be in the rotation too!

Lindsay Brin's Moms Into Fitness DVD series is a really good one.

Whatever you were doing before you got pregnant.
Preggo workouts deliver very little if you were already fit before.

I'm very active and continued with my normal workouts, making some modifications, until about month 5 or 6. After that, I did Perfect Pregancy Workout DVDs. It incorporates weight training more than cardio (which can easily be accomplished by walking).I loved it and even did them for a few months after birth.The host is 6 or 7 months pregnant and is a professional acrobat.

I found most pregnancy DVDs out there are not physically challenging and focus more on breathing and whispering positive affirmations. Blah.

Good luck on your pregnancy.
