Amanda Tress Fit Pregnancy and Parenting Bootcamp update and Body After Baby dvd product review

I'm just starting week 3 of Amanda Tress-Fit Pregnancy and Parenting Fall Virtual bootcamp. So far, so good!! The first week wasn't that good though because I was experiencing female "issues" and was on my third week of having a cold and congestion. argh!! Talk about a double whammy!!

Each week Amanda emails me a PDF file of the workout assignments and links to her videos so I can plan ahead for the week. Each week the workout times are progressively getting a little longer-meaning last week I did 2 rounds of a particular video clip and this week I may do 3 or 4 rounds of the same video clip.

Amanda checks in with me every day either on facebook, email or instagram. I'm a huge instagram fan so typically I post my pictures in the mornings so she knows I did my workout already that day. I try to do them in the mornings because evenings are such a hit and miss for me-usually a miss in the way of workouts.

I'm hoping the workouts won't take me any longer than 60 minutes even as we progress through the boot camp, because I have a hard time putting in longer time than that. Typically I have to get up at 545am to get my workouts done at my house while everyone is sleeping.

I'm having difficulty being able to do the running assignment portion, so I emailed Amanda earlier this week to explain the situation and we were able to figure out what I should personally do to keep my heart rate up but not have to run which would create more problems for my body down the road.

As a promo last month with signing up for the fall bootcamp, Amanda sent me her brand new Body after Baby workout dvd for free. I received it last week, and this morning I did the workout completely beginning to end.  

I chose the "play all" option, but it has the capability to go to different chapters.
The dvd started with a brief warm up, then arm circuit (I used 3 and 5 pound hand weights), cardio circuit, leg circuit, cardio circuit, core circuit and then the last cardio circuit which includes a very brief stretch/cool down.

• You only need 1 set of hand weights, good shoes and possibly a yoga mat for this workout. 
• 46 mins long from start to end.
• Music was good/soft in the background. Not in your face loud or even noticeable.
• Family friendly! Amanda works out the whole time with her baby and some chapters include her husband. 
• I appreciate her modesty of her clothes. I refuse to do workouts in front of my husband and 2 boys that include women provocatively half dressed. 

Overall I felt like this dvd is for intermediate people. Even though she does modifications, I have been over 200 pounds and theres nothing more frustrating than someone telling you to "just modify" the workouts and that "anyone" can do it. So unless you've been working out for a couple months, you may get frustrated by not being able to keep up with her pace or being able to do all the moves from this dvd.
The workouts were challenging for me but doable-I was sweating and did have to take a couple brief breaks. The majority of moves on this dvd are moves that I have done the past 3 weeks of bootcamp from her online videos she makes; so I didn't feel like anything was really new but thats okay. I liked the set up of this workout dvd and Amanda's personality. I would recommend this dvd to any mother wanting a bootcamp-type style dvd.
