Guest guest Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 My granddaughter is loves music so anything she likes to dance to is a workout , which right now is music by AC/DC and watching School of Rock.At age 7 she weighs 92 pounds which is 12 lbs. less than myself. anything that gets her moving and jumping is a big help.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 There are some walking ones that I used to do... so you don't end up feeling like you can't keep up without rhythm, or a lot of dance moves... I'm sure she could do them, they're called Walk Away the Pounds. And the lady who does them wasn't overly perky or irritating (i HATE that! lol) They often have them at Walmart...I picked up mine there. Angel Mom to 13 Quote
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 The best way to get the kids moving is the Playstation 2 Dance Dance Revolution games, they dont even realize they are exercising, its just great fun. I love them myself!! Quote
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 OOOH... YES... the DDR games... we have 2 of the dance mats, my kids love them, I didn't even think about those...yes, a very good idea! And Kudos to you Cattz...my brain can't even comprehend all those arrows..hahaaa!! ~ANGEL~ Mom to (13) Mosaic Down Syndrome/Hirschsprung's Disease and Lance (17), Tyler (14), (11) Jaeda (9) and Shayne (3) Quote
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Darlene, I bought " Fit Kids;Workout for Parents and Children " done by DeMasi, produced by Terra Entertainment. It is very child oriented and only 30 minutes long. It's a workout but fun! You can go your own pace, I like that we could do it together and the songs were catchy Good Luck Peggy (daughter to Emma,aged9) --- Darlene Benoit wrote: > All - > > I am looking for some fun workout videos that my > daughter and I can do > together (she is 7).

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 I recently purchased an exercise video that you do with one of those big balls. The video is called " ABC 4Kidz, Aerobic Ball Conditioning - Roll Up a Sweat " - it is available through www.spriproducts.com<http://www.spriproducts.com/> I have an exercise ball that was given to me at Christmas but it is really too big for Katy. I am in the process of getting her a smaller ball. You can get Therapy balls of all different sizes at www.abilitations.com<http://www.abilitations.com/> They say to measure from the armpit to middle finger and that should be the diameter of the ball. I think Katy needs a 22 " ball. Anyway, the video is cute and Katy likes to watch it. In the video there is an instructor surrounded by kids all on balls, doing the exercises. Upbeat music in the background too. Hope this helps, Charlotte Workout videos All - I am looking for some fun workout videos that my daughter and I can do together (she is 7).
