Erin O'Brien
Erin O'Brien is a certified pre and postnatal trainer with over 10 years experience. She's well-trained in working with pregnant clients, and in this dvd she is actually pregnant herself. If you like bouncy, perky fitness instructors, she may not be your preference. Erin is pleasant, but not overly animated. She is knowledgeable and friendly without being annoying. Erin is like the girl next door, in real life workout wear, a low ponytail, and little makeup. She really gives you the impression of a friend or neighbor helping you do some exercises. Some people really like this, but others prefer an instructor with a more professional appearance.
Production Info
This exercise dvd lacks high production quality. The setting does not appear to be very professionally produced. It looks as if someone just filmed a pregnant woman doing exercises in her living room. The background music is not for everyone either. The music is instrumental versions of nursery rhymes, played at a faster pace. It depends on the viewer's preferences whether or not the dvd will be appealing or irritating. Some people like the no-nonsense surroundings that may remind viewers of their own home. Others would prefer a more professional-looking setting.
