Roberta's Fitness for Kids

K-Gr 4—Several fitness trainers demonstrate workout programs under the coordination of fitness enthusiast Roberta Bergman. She starts out with 30-second aerobic activities, followed by segments on tae kwon do, stretching, strength training, the importance of accepting your body and having a positive attitude, working out with a medicine ball, kickboxing, and advice to parents regarding modeling good exercise habits. Each chapter includes a demonstration in action showing elementary school children of a variety of ages and abilities. Warming up, safety, and paying attention to directions are emphasized. While users could get ideas about how to set up exercise program for kids, youngsters might not be able to follow along, as the camera pans back and forth between the children and the adult, which will be distracting.
