Billy Blanks - Tae Bo Kicks [DVD]

If you want your children to have a great time and burn some energy too, then this is the perfect DVD. Billy Blanks is so energetic and really gets the kids moving through this hour of exercise. From stretches or kicks and punches, he keeps them entertained from start to finish.My daughter loved that he was "talking to her" and she kept talking to him. It is hilarious. Smaller children would love this fitness video, but may not make it through the entire thing, especially when he moves into the recovery stretches...but hey, at least they are moving.We use this DVD two or three times per week. I would even recommend it to parents who want to make a great example for their kids. Doing exercise as a family is a great way to bond and to stay in shape.

Okay, I'm not a kid. I first started using this just before I turned 60. when I wanted to lose weight. It's great for kids of all ages! If you're out of shape, it's a good beginning workout. I had reached a point where getting off the floor was a chore. Within a couple of weeks, that problem was resolved. I just started the workout again, and it will take me a couple of weeks to get up to speed. Once I'm comfortable with this workout, I'll again advance to the more strenuous Tae Bo workouts. I had lost my copy and had to order a new one. It's worthwhile!

This is awesome for the whole family! I used to bring this in to do with my Pre-K and kindergartners during aftercare on rainy days when everyone was itching to let out energy. Ended up purchasing to use with my own kids. Very good energy and it will get you in better shape if you are a little 'out of' for sure. Lol

As a Recess Monitor at a Elementary school, we were looking for an alternative to board games and coloring during our occasional bad weather indoor recess days. We also felt exercise is good for you and should be fun. So on the times the gym is not available, we wanted something that could be used in 30 min. and didn't require a huge space. So today I got to test this out on two classrooms of Kindergarteners...THEY LOVED IT!! We moved some tables and chairs back and set it up. The students followed along, laughing and counting along. The best part is, it's done in place. There is not a lot of moving across the room, etc... So you are not moving side to side or front to back like some exercise routines. The moves are done in one spot. Billy Banks has the "cool guy" factor working for him too. There is another instructer to help him and girls and boys of different ages to follow along with. So I think it could be used with K through 5th graders.(I have 2nd and 5th grade boys) He keeps their interest up and it's fun! I was worried it would get chaotic, and some of the roudy kids would start crashing into others, but they didn't and followed along beautifully. And let me tell ya, it's was a great workout! I did have a few toward the end that got tired, so I told them they could stand in place, rest and watch, which they did. Even some of the Resource teachers joined in and did it with us. Everyone was laughing and smiling:) I'm going to buy one to keep in my home too! WE LOVE IT!!

This dvd is great for kids! Billy Blanks is great with the kids & gets to it & isn’t all “chattykathy” about everything. He counts it out & the kids have fun & work it! My sons loved Billy Blanks’ Tae Bo dvd’s & my niece 9 does this everyday on her own. Loves it!

I bought this for my 7 year old who has taken an interest in alternative forms of exercise. He loves to bike ride, swim etc, but is not a fan of running sports (soccer, basketball...) so I thought this might be a good fit. It totally was. Don't get me wrong, this workout is tough and long. My 7 year old got through about 25 minutes of it before he pooped out, and his 4 year old brother held on for about 15 minutes. It is the cutest thing to watch them trying to keep up with the moves, but the important thing was that they were moving and having fun. Pretty sure you can't beat that! Plus, the video is great to do as a family if you're looking to set a good example for your kids in the fitness department.

"this is a fun and exciting video"(my 8yo daughter). This is a fun video-the excitement and energy of an aerobics video with martial arts moves. I disagree with critics concerning the idea that martial arts moves are violent or inappropriate for kids with regards to this video. As far as I remember(I've done this with my kids 2-3 times), Blanks makes no reference to self defense or the significance of doing the moves(other than improving self esteem or fitness). The background music is "nice" and motivating. We've seen other videos and appreciated how Blanks leaves a majority of the talking to the beginning and end of the work-out(other instructors(Rich Grogan) seemed to try to make small talk during the work-out(unrelated to the moves-if you like that's great-we just want to hear how to do the moves and a few inspirational words of wisdom)

I bought this video for my 6-year old daughter to help her get more exercise. I figured, if she's going to watch tv, might as well make use of the time. She's in taekwondo, so this video really helped reinforce the kicking and punching moves. (you don't need to be in TKD to do this video)What I loved was that they had lots of different kids. Boys, girls, younger, older, and some that had a little more chunk to them. It showed that any one can do it!Bill Blanks is really motivating. It was nice to see him sweat too. I kept reassuring that you're suppose to get hot and sweaty. That's good! See, he is too!My mother even is thinking about doing it too. It's a nice workout.

Bought this for my daughter and she really enjoys this and uses it regularly I have seen a change in her fitness levels and would recommend this DVD to any parent looking for fun for there kids as she doesn't see it as exercise.

My kids like this DVD. I have a 4 year old and 3 year old. Truth be told, I bought it for me. I figured it wouldn't be as hard as some of the adult Tae Bo and I was right. Plus it's fun cause my kids go along with it. The moves are simple, the reps aren't bad and it's a good workout for adults with kids who want to make working out fun, I enjoyed it.

i bought this for my 3 and 4 yr old. it was high energy and a bit difficult for my children. however it arrived on time as promised.

今までBOOTCAMPばかりでTae boは初めて購入したけど、似たようなエクササイズでした。しかもこのDVDはバックが4〜12才位の子供達なので、とても微笑ましかったです。ビリーとシェリーももちろん出演しているので「BOOTCAMP子供版」って感じです。5才の子供もゆっくりついていけました。途中で飽きてたけど…ただ、我が家の普通の家庭用DVDでは再生出来なかったので、リージョンフリーのデッキで見ました。ご注意を!

パパ＆ママが、ビリーに夢中で、５歳の子供にも。と購入しましたが、普段ブートキャンプ＆エリートを見慣れているせいか？スローテンポで物足りなかった様です。でもシェリー達もちゃんと出演しています。
