Denise Austins Fit Kids starring Denise Austin
Great Exercise Video For Upper Elementary Kids.
With the goal to get kids moving, fitness expert Denise Austin leads preteens in a 20-minute total body workout incorporating elements of dance, hip-hop, sports drills, and yoga. It begins with a six-minute warm up of stretches and lunges, followed by seven minutes of cardio-funk, kickboxing, and traditional aerobics. The program ends with a strengthening segment of push-ups, abdominal exercises, and beginning yoga. Effervescent Austin provides adequate verbal coaching to a dozen kids who perform the moves. This moderately fast-paced program assumes its participants are fairly fit at the onset and in only a few cases offers reduced levels of participation for varying abilities. No equipment is necessary and minimal space is required in this energetic option for general youth fitness. Don’t miss the DVD’s bonus episode, Family Fit, a 20-minute workout designed for families to do together. It follows the same format as the Fit Kids routine, with the addition of a few exercises that require partnering for resistance training. One segment employs a basketball (or similar sized
ball) which is the only equipment necessary. Quality fitness, doing it together, is Austin’s peppy mantra, which results in a corny but clever way to get families off the couch. (Ages 8 and older) --Lynn Gibson
Personal Review: Denise Austins Fit Kids starring Denise Austin
I am a mom. I do this video WITH my kids- I cannot imagine my kids ever doing this by themselves and I think that anyone that would EXPECT their child to do an excercise video on their own, let alone be ENTERTAINED, is a little lazy or crazy. It's not about being entertained- it's about giving your kiddos a fun supplement to their normal physical activity- one that might focus on few specific muscles of the body. The video is probably about 30 minutes- not TOO long and not TOO shortit's perfect!! She will not bore your children or yourself with a million repetitions of anything- she incorporates stances of a few different sports into to make it fun- there are a few yoga poses, a few quick running in place/jump roping in place drills, good stretches. She does sit ups, pushups and a great one "pulling the rope" which works your stomach/sides very well. You do NOT need any special equipment (hula hoop, step, etc). The video DOES work some target muscles effectively. For the people that expect this video to GET their kids excercising, you're crazy- ONE VIDEO is NOT a healthy routine- it's supposed to be a supplement and FUN! Unless you're willing to do this video with them, you need to just enroll them in a sport that they enjoy or play one with them!
