Hi Moms,
I am looking for suggestions for a DVD. I am looking for something that I can do with my kids when everyone needs to let off some steam and have fun. I would like it to be a video that includes dance, exercise and music that we can all do together (I would also like to reap the benefits of a little extra exercise). My kids are 3 and 5, so it has to be simple enough and a fast pace to keep their attention. Thanks for any suggestions!
Try Laurie Berkner - she has a great style suitable for your kids and you. Our kids are 8 and 5.5 and they still dance and sing along to each song. Her website is http://www.laurieberkner.com/site/.
The link to her DVD is

You can also try Dan Zanes. http://www.danzanes.com/pages/news.php
Try "The Bollywood Dance Workout" by Hemalayaa"- you can shimmy, shae, and play Bhangra style!
You might have fun with Billy Blanks' beginning TaeBo. I think I have a picture of me and my two boys in front of the tube doing TaeBo when they were 3 and 6. They weren't particularly good at it, but we all had a lot of fun.
As an aside... my mom dropped the tapes (yes, VCR) into my younger son's 3rd b-day present. I was 165# and very flabby. I had the beginnings of a 6-pack stomach about two months later! It was an addiction for a few years, lost to a work schedule change.
Good luck with it!

We have a Yoga Kids video. They have several but I would recommend that silly to calm.
Hi, we like dancing to imagination movers (their first CD) we dance and do obstacle courses that require doing jump rope or pushups and we use one of those medium sized balls and play soccer into a laundry basket! I have 3 boys 3, 7 and 9.
or we play a game where we have to copy each others moves. Fun stuff! A.
My kids and I dance around to a Laurie Berkner DVD. We love how silly her songs are and they are so upbeat we normally can't stop moving until it's over.
Hello!
We had fun before dancing to The Wiggles "Live Hot Potatoes". It is fun and if you skip the talking between the songs, you really get a heart rate going.
Have fun!
