The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program is
designed for children between the ages of 5
to 12. The fitness program was created by
Beachbody, which is one of the most prominent
producers of at-home DVD/VHS-based fitness
programs in the industry.
Beachbody produces a variety of fitness programs including weight loss solutions, strength training
programs, and specialty programs targeted
toward expectant mothers, children and the
elderly. Beachbody has also created several
other popular fitness programs including
Slim in 6, P90X, Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs,
Yoga Booty Ballet and Insanity.
With many of today's children leading a
sedentary lifestyle that is filled with poor
dietary habits, Beachbody, in collaboration
with Shaun T, decided to produce a fitness
program directed at addressing the issue.
The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program is
designed to promote a healthy and active
lifestyle within the 5- to 12-year-old age
bracket. To this end, the fitness program
combines both the physical activity and
nutritional aspects of obtaining good
health.
The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program
includes two 25-minute workouts, healthy "kid-friendly" snack ideas, and a guide on how to
read food labels. The fitness program is affordably priced and ideal for homes, schools
and day care centers.
This being said, for
individuals that are interested in promoting
a healthy lifestyle for their children, or
for institutions that regularly deal with
children, the Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness
program is worth considering.
The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program is
designed to get kids between the ages 5 and
12 active and moving with fun and easy-to-perform physical fitness routines. The
fitness program is not strenuous and is
intended to get kids to understand how fun
it can be to engage in physical activity.
The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program is
also designed to help parents and instructors
teach children how to read nutritional labels
and the importance of healthy eating habits.
The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program
includes the following items:
- Groove It Out Workout
- Cool Moves Workout
- Instructional Guide on How To Read
Nutrition Labels
- Healthy Snack Chart
- Wall Poster to Track Workouts
The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program
focuses on providing kids with two fun
physical activity routines. Each fitness
routine consists of various dance movements
that are sequenced to keep kids moving
for the entirety of the workout. The routines
consist of various movements that will have
the kids marching, side stepping, moving
their arms back and forth over their heads,
and a variety of other body shakes and
twists.
Both Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program
workouts are 25 minutes in duration
and are DVD/VHS-based, so they can be
performed whenever time permits. Children
between the ages of 5 and 12 should ideally
be getting 30 to 60 minutes of physical
activity per day, and this fitness program is
intended to help achieve that goal.
Naturally, the effectiveness of the Shaun
T's Fit Kids fitness program will vary
depending on whether or not the kids enjoy it
and the regularity with which they perform the
actual workouts. The fitness program is not
designed to promote significant weight loss results or improvements in strength. The Shaun T's
Fit Kids fitness program is simply designed
to get children to be more active and
knowledgeable about exercising and healthy
eating.
The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program
requires no support equipment to perform
either of the the exercise routines. Both of
the workout routines are designed so that
they only require a minor amount of space.
The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program
does not impose any special physical
requirements. Both of the exercise
routines are low-impact, low to moderate in intensity, and accessible to everyone.
The theme is obviously children-oriented
and will not appeal to everyone. The program
is most ideal for instructors or parents who
want a tool to assist them in introducing the
importance of daily physical activity and
healthy eating habits to children.
Shaun T's Fit Kids is a Beachbody product
which benefits from the following customer
support system:
- 24/7 telephone support
- Email support
- Online live chat support
- Online message boards
The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program
costs $ 19.95 plus $ 4.95 for shipping and
handling. For this price, you receive two 25-minute activity routines, two small
guidelines that discuss the benefits
associated with healthy eating habits, and a
wall poster.
For most individuals interested in this
type of fitness program, the cost will not be
a concern. Similar children-oriented fitness
programs are offered within the same price
range and offer similar physical activity
routines. While there may be more cost-effective ways to introduce physical activity
and healthy eating habits to children, the
Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program will have
value for those who desire a convenient supplemental
tool for assistance.
Summary
The Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program
includes two fairly short physical activity
routines that are designed to get kids
involved in a physical activity at a young
age. In addition, the fitness program includes information that introduces kids to
the importance of consuming a healthy diet.
Parents and instructors looking for a tool
to assist them in educating their children on
the importance of eating properly and
regularly engaging in physical activity may
find the Shaun T's Fit Kids fitness program
to be beneficial. This is especially true
when you consider the total cost of the
fitness program.
