Gets my girls going...a little.......2007-05-30

My girls ages 3 1/2 & 1 1/2 like to watch this video for a little bit. My oldest "works out" to the video for about 5-10 minutes & then is done. I don't like the snack part in the video; I think it's poorly placed in the middle of the video. I think the instructor could be a bit more hyper & silly in order to relate more to kids.

Cute video, a little slow moving for very active toddlers.......2007-02-26

Hustle-Bustle Move your muscles is a very cute and educational video for little ones. I have a toddler that will turn 3 in another month and he is very active. I thought the video would structure his energy for a small part of the day- however it does not keep his attention. He likes the bear character but the entire video is just a little too slow for him. I was pleasantly suprised that it was not annoying for adults and actually could be a decent little work out for mothers too.

Great.......2007-01-18

Sure it's a little cheesy to adults but it's not FOR adults is it?? My kids (ages 2 & 4) just love this dvd. The great thing about it is that it's not a talking routine with aerobic instructor cues. She sings the routine and the cues are within the cute upbeat songs. She takes time in between segments to explain about different muscle groups too and the importance of eating healthy snacks. Not long after we got this dvd my 4 year old was out in the yard and was jumping up and down. He turned to me and said, "whew, I sure am using my hamstrings and quadraceps!!" which he sure was but I thought he was just guessing so I asked him to point to where those things are on his body and he nailed it!! A great dvd to get them moving in the winter and on rainy days and a learning experience too!!

What a Hit!.......2006-06-15

My kids and I thoroughly enjoy watching the Get Fit Kids video. It is a big hit! I love how Kristi is so upbeat and interacts with the viewers, and the children in the video. My kids always seem so happy, after watching Get Fit Kids. I have really seen a difference in them since they have been exercising. They are doing better in
Pre-school, and they seem to sleep a lot better at night! Thanks Get Fit Kids.

Focused on healthy habits rather than body image and technique.......2006-06-06

PROS: This DVD is appropriate for younger children. It encourages movement and works major muscle groups. The movements are pretty simple, but technique is not the emphasis anyway. The instructor is kid-friendly, not overly made-up or emphasizing body image. Rather, she could be the babysitter or the kindergarten teacher. Emphasis is on health, not appearance, which is great. She teaches the names of some major muscles (biceps, quads, hamstrings, etc.) and talks a little bit about healthy food and energy. (Healthy snacks give you better energy to play!) It is great for my 4 & 6 yr. old girls. They are not frustrated with complex moves or too fast a pace. They are not thinking about how they look or whether they are doing the movements "correctly." It is fun, holds their attention, and keeps them moving. If you are wanting a DVD that promotes health, good snack habits, and exercise without stressing specific exercise techniques or how your body "should" look, this meets that criteria.

CONS: I will say that it could be a little longer. It's less than 30 minutes so I don't know how much of a workout they are getting. Not to be used as a substitute for outdoor activity, but better than none on a rainy day. Some of the activities are not very vigorous, like wiggling fingers. It's definitely not a DVD for older kids. The children in the video are focused on using the right muscles rather than specific technique. I was also a little annoyed at the "snack break" segment. I think it lasts 2 or 3 minutes and just shows healthy food choices, but it interrupts because it comes between the workout and the cool down. And of course, the kids think they need a snack during this few minutes of time, which just doesn't work! I understand wanting to end the DVD with the cool down because it is focused on relaxing, but the snack part just doesn't work well where it is. I suppose you could always have your child begin cool down during this time by doing some simple stretches while watching the fruit go by... :)

Overall, this was a good choice for my kids at their level.
