(More customer reviews)This is a fun video for the students to workout. I used it in my music room along for the Music and PE classes for FCAT week so PE wouldn't disturb testing classrooms. I suggest it's only good for upper 3rd graders and up. In fact, some of my 2nd graders begged to try it and could do some of the workouts. Some of the moves are dorky in the children's eyes, but if you encourage them to let loose and have fun, then they will!!!
The workouts are broken into 4 different 5.5 min sections.
I rated each one with a 1-5 for difficulty
(1 being the easiest and 5 being the hardest):
~ Hip & Happening Kardio Funk (3)
Uses newer dance moves
~ Drum Beating, Foot-Stomping African (5)
difficult body movement combos
~ Shimmy, Shaking, & Loving Latin (4)
I have the boys stand in the front facing the TV while this section uses upper body shimmies and booty shaking (nothing dirty)
~ Heart Pounding, Arms Pumping Aerobic Dance (1)
Based on 80's style dancing and uses similar musicSince I did this for 5 days for 4 classes (2 hours a day) along with a CD with the younger children, I lost 15 pounds! LOL I even brought it home to my roommate and we ended up laughing and giggling while we stomped and shimmied our way to weight loss.
Buy it and HAVE FUN!
