ABC Funfit: The Mary Lou Retton Workout For Kids

This exercise tape for kids features Olympic Gold medallist Mary Lou Retton. Originally aired as Saturday morning TV filler, the ten individual segments have been gathered together here to be used as a basic exercise program for children. Retton is a warm and winning hostess, with a genuine enthusiasm that should spill over to the viewing audience. Each of the exercise sets has a catchy name: "Spine Tinglers", "The Rock Easy-No Bounce Floor Stretch", "Muscle Makers", "Like a Tiger", "Rhythm Rockers", etc. But no matter what they're called, these basic exercises are the foundation of a solid exercise program. And, in a nod to the creative aspects of exercising, Retton encourages the audience in a segment entitled "It's Your Move" to design their own exercises. If you have the Jane Fonda tapes for adults, the ABC Funfit tape will be a welcome addition for young adults. Highly recommended.
