Item #7412	$14.95	In-stock: Yes

Two workouts. One for kids 8 to 12 years old and another to do together as a family. These are not just “playing” — both programs include a variety of ’real’ exercises. And, of course, they feature Denise’s legendary enthusiasm and energy (“just do the best you can”). The kids’ routines have a definite dance orientation; from “hula hoop” and “bicycle” to grapevines and kickboxing (plus push-ups, crunches and even some basic yoga poses). The family program is especially fun; it also includes interactive exercises like tossing a basketball or helping each other stretch. ©2004. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Denise Austin's Fit Kids

Really Great workout

Over all the other workouts, I think this is the best. Her words spur you on, and I actually enjoy doing the exercises with my 6 year old daughter! Keep it up Denise! - posted by Kristen on 12/28/2007

I'm not too crazy about this video. First of all, Ms. Austin gets on my nerves, she's like a bad actress in a cheap B movie. The exercises are boring to me , but I must say my 6 year old daughter seems to like them. She likes me to exercise with her, so I'll keep looking for a video we can both enjoy. - posted by Lori on 4/17/2007

kids in the background

I was discussing this concept with my teenage daughter the other day with out the knowledge of this ever being done. I am so glad that this is offered because I believe that fat kids become fat adults because they are not taught to eat right or how to exercise...I think these videos need more advertisment!!! Please do something!!! - posted by crystal on 1/26/2007

I actually liked it...a lot

I was never a fan of Denise, I felt like she was instructing in baby talk, but she was great for my daughter and I had a lot of fun doing it too. I broke out in a sweat. I am now a fan. - posted by a.delgado on 8/2/2005

GREAT

I am so pleased to see a new tape geared for kids! I thought that this tape was wonderful. It wasn't too long, provided a lot a variety and is easy to follow. It wasn't necessarily high intensity but for a way to get inactive kids started with exercise I thought it was great. I hope to see more in the future! - posted by on 2/7/2005

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Specialty: Kids

Workouts especially designed to get your children moving. They range from true "workouts" to playful games and just-plain-fun activities.
