DVD Reviews of Exploracise Gymathtics by Exploramania
DVD Review: Math review + fitness for kids
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been looking for a couple good fitness DVD's to add to our library to have on hand to make sure the kids are getting some physical activity several days a week. We try to do one before breakfast on school days. They also spend some time outdoors most days in the afternoon if the weather is decent. I especially was looking for videos that will help them to stretch their muscles out.
I think this would be good for elementary ages. Even though it includes a teenage boy and girl, I would not recommend it for teens. They will hate it.
I don't think this necessariy should have won all the awards listed above, however, I am glad I bought it for my kids. I think it will be a good addition to our fitness routine, though I wouldn't do it everyday.
There are some things about this DVD that I (and my kids) liked:
+ a good mix of older and younger kids who are kind and encouraging to each other
+ was a good length- not too strenuous but short enough to keep kids from getting bored
+ reviewed math subjects such as skip counting, angles, shapes, etc... which they show on a simple blue split screen next to the fitness dvd
+ it's easy to skip to the section you want to do and skip over the ones you don't want to do
+ it is an easy way to make sure your kids are getting some physical activity everyday, especially if the weather is bad outside
+ the last (cool down) section also offers some health & wellness tips. Sometimes it is good for kids to hear it from someone who is NOT their parent
Here are a couple things I (and my kids)did not like about this DVD:
+ it really was obviously pretty low budget
+ it got really annoying how the adult kept saying phrases like "Don't you just love exercize?" and "High five!" My kids rolled their eyes everytime she said this
I think this is especially an occasional, fun, educational DVD. I would like to have seen it made a little better but kudos for them for making something that has kids exercising- and has won several awards.
I also recommend the Junior Yoga DVD Junior Yoga by Annette Lefterow (NTSC).
