Kick to Get Fit Jr. - For Kids

Summary: WOW - The most incredible program I've ever seen
Review: This program is absolutely amazing. I have NEVER seen kids respond to a program, (especially an exercise program) the way kids respond to this one. I just put the tape (Now the DVD)in and the kids are lost in a world of exercise. I am sure this sounds crazy, especially how kids are today about exercising, but I swear it's the truth. I read several of the other reviews and I wasn't quite sure my kids would be as wrapped up in the video as others had stated. - I was wrong. My kids LOVE IT, we have played the tape over 25 times, and now we have the DVD (which is great), and I don't know how many times we are going to play it.
Take my word for it, this program is the most incredible program I've ever seen for kids.

Summary: I can't believe how truly wonderful this program is!!!!!
Review: This program is incredible. I can't believe how truly wonderful this program is. Not only do my kids absolutely love this program, but so does everyone of their friends. My 3 kids are ages 3, 7, & 9, and our house is the gathering house for after-school activities. We probably watch this DVD just as much as we watch Shreik & Spongebob, and of course with this DVD the kids actually get a workout. And, the workout they get is pretty amazing. Among many of the things that impresses me about this program is the amount of activity & movement the kids do, and how little of space is needed to do the movements, it is really amazing. And of course the movements are something amazing to. First of all the kids stay moving during the entire program, but the movements are simple enough to keep up with, and very easy to do, and all at the same time fun & exciting enough to keep the kids interested. I often find myself doing some of the movements along with the kids. The movements are really that fun. Like I mentioned the kids watch this video almost as often as they watch Shreik and some of their other favorite Disney movies.
This is really a great program for the kids, and parents to.

Summary: This video is "A" #1 for gradeschools - The BEST
Review: This video is "A" #1 for gradeschool kids - PERIOD!!!!
My school district is made up of 10 gradeschools, so needless to say, there is a large number of teachers, parents & students involved within this district. I reviewed this video at a physical education conference, and was 100% sold on the ideas & concepts. I was in one of Mr. Grogan's demonstrations, which had about 200 P.E. teachers in the crowd. Let me tell you, I've been involved with physical education, school systems, and children for the past 25 years, and I don't think I've EVER seen the response given to a program the way people responded to this one. The word AWESOME doesn't even come close to describing the amount of fun we had with this program. So of course I bought a DVD for each one of the gradeschools in the district. And, without any surprise to me, I've received numerous phones calls from the teachers & parents as to how much they LOVE this program. The way Mr. Grogan interacts with the kids in the video, and the way he makes the viewers feel like they are part of the class is amazing. He is truly a professional in the art of teaching & interacting with children, and believe me, I've seen my share of poor teachers, especially poor P.E. teachers, who simply took the job as a P.E. teacher because they couldn't do anything else. Anybody who is serious about being a good teacher, especially with children, will quickly see how amazing Mr. Grogan's positive interaction is with the children in the video.
Mr. Grogan also explains in the video why he has changed some of the movements to eliminate the violent characteristics of punching & kicking. Mr. Grogan explains, instead of doing a cross punch, have the children pretend to grab apples, this will take the focus off of punching another student on the playground. But, by keeping the muscle mechanics the same as a punch, but simply changing the intent & meaning of the punch, the kids can still gain the positive benefits involved in throwing a punching technique. To actually see the kids on the playground saying & playing grab the apples & oranges, making apple pie & orange juice is pretty amazing to see. To fully understand this you'll have to see the video for yourself. And believe me, not only will you be impressed, but your kids will absolutely love the program and they will also impress you with the way they remember the movements, and how they often ask to do this program.
Without a doubt this is the best kids fitness program I've ever seen, and Mr. Grogan is one of the best at interacting with kids.

Summary: My Kids LOVE this video!
Review: We homeschool and purchased Kick to Get Fit Jr. for our sons as a part of their physical fitness program. They LOVE this video. When we received it in the mail we made the rule that they have to workout each day before they can play video games or watch TV. No Problem. They love it and even want to have their friends over to workout with them. They don't even complain when I remind them to do their workout. This is a huge step in our household.

No, it is not done to perfection, but that is the part I like best. It makes it very real to life. My boys don't have to feel like they must do it perfectly (a big plus when you have a perfectionist). It frees them up to just have fun getting fit.

Summary: Now on DVD - Even better than the VHS
Review: WOW - is about the only words to describe this program. I am a physical education teacher for grades K-6, and I see approximately 1000 kids a week, and this is by far the best program I've ever seen for kids.
The kids, and I mean all the kids, absolutely love it. Once I turn it on they are drawn in like magnets to metal, it it amazing to see. I bet I've played this video 30 times, and each time I play it the kids get excited, they even ask if they can watch the "kicking video", or the "apple grabbing" video - that is what the kids call it. Oh, the apple grabbing, that is what Mr. Grogan has the kids imagine they are doing instead of punching another kid. This is a great concept, because like Mr. Grogan says, this way the kids are thinking of grabbing apples instead of punching "Johnny". I know it may sound silly, but it works, and more importantly - the kids love it!
I am very happy to see that this program is now available on DVD, because now I can select certain parts of the program to do at the beginning & ending of class. Like I mentioned, I have grades K - 6, so there is a big difference in age, but all the kids are taken in by this program. I have been a Physical education teacher for 25 years, and I often get accused of being "Old Fashion", and unwilling to accept new things & change. So to be honest, it was very hard for me to buy this video in the first place, just because it was something new, and most of the "new" things I've bought lately, especially exercise related has been junk that NO kid on earth could possibly do. Anyway, as you can see from my praise, this video is amazing, and now that it is on DVD is even better. DVD is also a new thing that I've had to adjust to, this is only the second DVD I've bought, and so far I'm very happy with it. I understand that Mr. Grogan has a few other videos, I think I'll check them out to.
From me and the 1000 kids I see weekly - Thank you Mr. Grogan, you did an incredible job with this program.
