This multilevel class is safe for and accessible to beginners, and just right for intermediates. Three of Fonda's able and motivating instructors teach the 45-minute step class. Half the room does lower-intensity moves; the other uses higher steps and higher-intensity techniques. The teaching technique is excellent: a pattern is taught on the floor before taking it up on the step. One participant does the routines totally without the step to guide beginners or others who don't feel comfortable using the step. The patterns never get very complex, but they are varied enough to keep you interested and energized, and you can adjust your step height to make the workout harder if you wish. The instructors cue seamlessly. Fonda herself teaches the 10-minute abdominal segment, with enough variations of the standard crunch to keep your abs contracting and your mind engaged. --Joan Price

Product Description If you can't attend a prepared childbirth class, this dvd will bring the class home to you. Parents-to-be who can't fit Lamaze classes into their schedules, as well as been-there-done-that parents in need of a refresher course, will welcome Having Your Baby!, a polished, step-by-step instructional program. ( Now also available in a Spanish dvd.) The two instructors are quite engaging and, more important, licensed obstetrical Registered Nurses who are both Lamaze-certified childbirth educators. The production complements its classroom segments with plentiful footage of the real thing: labor, vaginal and cesarean births, and all the obstetrical procedures a mother might face in labor and delivery. Spectacular 3-D animation gives the inside story, so to speak, affording viewers the knowledge necessary to handle the experience with confidence. Topics covered include: What to Expect in Labor , Working with Your Coach, Lamaze Breathing Techniques, Lamaze Relaxation Exercises, Pain Management During Labor and Birth, Epidurals , Medical Interventions, Cesarean Preparation, and more. Having Your Baby! combines the best of an old fashioned Lamaze class with the latest medical information and computer technology. We kept some of the original footage of a Lamaze class (yes, some of our hairstyles look a bit dated, but some things about childbirth just don t change, and we love this footage!) and added updated information, live footage of labor and birth, and computer graphics to make the entire program very enjoyable to watch. It is the only program that teaches 5 breathing techniques and complete relaxation. All breathing techniques are conveniently condensed into one chapter for easy reference. Unlike other videos which have an instructor talking to a home video camera, professionally produced Having Your Baby! takes you directly from the classroom into the hospital, labor room and birthing room, allowing you to see, first-hand, discreet footage of obstetrical procedures, epidurals, labor, vaginal ...
