I am in love with this mommy and me workout DVD. Everything about chicks-n-chickens Lullaby Express is so soothing, inviting, relaxing, and just the thing I was looking for since having had my little girl. With my son I did mommy and me yoga and loved it. It was time for both me and my little man to relax but still strengthen my body. I haven’t been able to find anything like that since moving to Hawaii. Well now with Lullaby Express, I have that same combination – bonding with my little girl, a work out for mommy and some much-needed relaxing, chill-out time.

I love that this DVD features real-moms with  real babies.  Creator and Chief Chick, Darcy Novo Albrecht is fantastic. She isn’t overly bubbly, at all, she’s real, comforting, calm. She revs you up with the groove portion where you work on legs, bellies and your behind, all while carrying your little one in front of you (babies make the best weights!).

After you’ve got a sweat going on, Darcy takes you through the sleep portion.  Many of the movements are natural to us mothers…rocking, swaying, holding your little one close.  But then Darcy adds a neck stretch here or a shoulder raise there and then suddenly this experience evolves and you are not only bonding and putting your little one to sleep, but you are RELAXING!  Most likely, your little one will be relaxing too and will be off to night-night land, as my little girl did.  …..aaahhhh….

Lullaby Express by chicks-n-chickens really is a fantastic “mommy and me” workout DVD, the best I’ve found, hands down.  The music used throughout the DVD is equally fantastic, even making me tear up during the sleep portion once…it’s good stuff, sweet, inspiring, perfect.
