Something about this is just wrong.

Found this while looking for prenatal yoga dvds on PBS. Prenatal Yoga called Crunch...no thanks.

That is odd.  Crunches are the last thing you should do when you're pregnant.

Aww shucks, I have that DVD.    It's also available on Netflix streaming if you have it.  But yeah, I actually like the workout.  It's totally chill, although the instructor can be a little too... I dunno... sweet? googly? hippy? too calm?  I dunno.  But yeah overall, I do like it and always felt better after doing it. 

 

But I'm also not a big yoga person so I wasn't looking for anything major, just light stretching and relaxation.

i work at a yoga studio part time. i asked recently and i don't remember crunches being on the do not do list for pregnancy (although i've never in my life heard the term "crunches" in yoga, so i'll just say i haven't heard to avoid working your abdominals). i know for sure you want to avoid deep twists which can cut off oxygen to the baby.

C'mon ya'll... there's no crunches in that workout whatsoever.  It's merely the name of the gym/brand.

.  Yeah, it's the 'brand' or whatever... I've got Crunch Pilates (non-maternity, obviously).  I haven't done it in a while, but I liked it b/c they have the 'host' and then sort of a co-host I guess, who does a modified/easier version, which is good if you're a beginner (or lazy... I'm both ).

I think I was way off last night b/c yall did get any of my jokes! I know there's no crunches in the workout, I just thought it was funny that there's a prenatal dvd by a company called crunch.

I will try to do better with my entertainment in the future.
