About the BeFit-Mom “Bounce Back Fast!” Program

The “Bounce Back Fast! Post Natal Core Conditioning” DVD features two progressive postpartum workouts, which blend the best of Pilates, yoga, dance, and cutting-edge fitness concepts. The exercises are demonstrated by actual postpartum moms, and are easy-to-follow as Helene guides you through every movement with precise, clear cueing.

Both programs utilize an exercise resistance band—included free inside the package—which increases the effectiveness exercises, allowing you to progress more quickly in a shorter amount of time. Because the resistance level of the band is easily modified, every woman can safely adjust the intensity of each exercise to fit her own body type and skill level.


The Workouts

The first workout, “Gentle First Moves” offers safe, restorative exercises that can be started just days after giving birth. The program:

 
Speeds healing from labor and delivery
Relieves discomfort
Gently stretches tight, sore muscles
Protects vulnerable joints and ligaments
Starts flattening and firming up postpartum “jelly-belly” right away
Introduces post natal abdominal techniques that the second workout expands upon

The second workout, “Bounce Back Fast!” builds off the first program and provides a more challenging, total-body workout that:
Systematically strengthens all four layers of the abdominal wall
Flattens the abdomen and improves body contours quickly
Shortens abdominal musculature
Develops deep core strength and dynamic stability
Realigns and lengthens the spine
Repairs abdominal separation
Restores pelvic floor muscles
Improves neuromuscular coordination
Develops functional balance throughout the body
Builds upper body strength for lifting and carrying
Speeds postpartum weight loss

Moreover, a complete, alternate “Bounce Back Fast!” workout is provided that features special exercise modifications for moms with abdominal separation.


Bonus Materials

The DVD also includes bonus materials that provide in-depth information on these important postnatal concerns:
Postpartum Exercise: details the unique conditions and challenges of restoring the body after pregnancy and childbirth.
Pelvic Floor Reconditioning: including the “no-fail” method of learning Kegel exercises.
Abdominal Separation: what it is, how to correctly test for it, which exercises and activities you should avoid, which exercises are safe, plus Helene’s pioneering method of splinting the body’s midline with the resistance band.
Postnatal Abdominal Training: amazingly effective techniques that you’ll find nowhere else!

  DVD TESTIMONIALS

 
I saw results immediately!
Andrea

The DVD gives thorough explanation and is geared towards health and strength, not being a supermodel. It’s great Helene- congratulations.
Amii, mother of Larkin and Brent

Helene,
What I liked best about the DVD is your calm and clear instruction. I went to a few classes of post partum Pilates exercise, but had trouble understanding what the teacher was describing…I find your description of what and how and where to contract much more comprehensible. I liked how you organized the DVD; instead of just diving right into the exercise routine, there's the separate part which helps you understand specific issues relevant to postpartum fitness. Those sections were interesting and helpful. Also, having the two different routines is great, since there can be such a difference in level of readiness of a particular post partum mom.
I would definitely recommend the DVD to a friend.
Dr. Paula Brinkley, pediatrician and mother of Eli and Sarita.

You can feel the effects on your body immediately. The DVD has a nice, personal feel. I would definitely recommend this DVD to a friend or give as a gift. It gives new moms hope that they can start moving their bodies after birth and increase the strength in their stomachs, as well as loose the weight that they want to get off.
Nicola Ries Taggart, mother of Lindsay


The coaching and reminders on form and muscles were perfect, they made me take care with each repetition and really focus on what I was doing. I loved the workout and plan to continue.
This would be a great gift!
Good luck, you have a great workout here!
Laura Berry, mother of Jack and Griffin

Helene,
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this DVD; it’s inspirational and motivating. I learned a lot about my post pregnancy body. I so appreciate your knowledge and very clear explanation of the movements. I have felt a huge difference in the way I carry myself and (how I ) exercise. I highly recommend this DVD.
Megan Henney, mother of 3

I really liked the exercises- really effective, and it’s also nice that you had models that are actually postpartum moms.
Doreen Z, mother of 2

The section on Kegels/Pelvic Floor is especially good. I really liked the style of the workouts and the clear descriptions of both the techniques and targets of each exercise.
Vanessa, mother of Felix

Helene…is very knowledgeable. I like that the program is not too long, so it's doable while baby is napping.
Jill

I think the DVD would be a great shower gift.
Sharon, Rex and Felix's momma

Good exercises for postpartum period that can be started right away after delivery. I liked how you could tune the workout to be gentle or more rigorous. Good explanation of abdominal separation and how to find out if you have it.
Jennifer S

I LOVE your book!
Megan Henney
son Dylan born 5/22/05


Dear Helene,
I'm the Bradley instructor who emailed you about a year ago and you gave me advice with my muscle separation. Your suggestions really worked, decreasing the space from 3 fingers to one and a half. Thanks so much. I also love your chapter on kegels. It's very clear and helpful. I continue to show and recommend your book to my classes.
Tracey Carrin

I love your book and plan to give it to everyone I know who is having a baby! Thanks so much!!
Gwynne McGraw

Dear Helene,
Hi, I 'm certified personal trainer working in Paris. I have your book "Exercise after pregnancy " and love it; it's a great guideline in working with postpartum women.
Sincerely, Lindsay Cotillon

My abdominal wall separation is down to 1 finger's width - it was 2 fingers when I started doing the exercises, and the depth of the separation has significantly decreased.
Thank you so much. Doing your exercises has made a huge difference.
Lynn George

Dear Helene,
Happy New Year!
Pleased to report belly now flat and most of my pre-preg strength regained...
All the best Dr. Patricia van Someren

Helene,
Thank you for writing this book, everyday I feel better and better about my "new" mommy body.
Sincerely, Sarah Hoyt

I read the first chapter of your book and it is amazing. I wish someone had handed it to me right before I gave birth so I'd known what was going to happen to my body afterward.
