Elliot's Gym

Nose to toes! Dancing shoulders! Zoo exercises! This children's workout video, hosted by world-class gymnast Dr. Elliot Cortez and his animated double, is designed to develop coordination, flexibility, and confidence for all the little future "ballerinas and baseball players." Fun and effective, this is a video all little exercisers will enjoy, and safety is emphasized throughout. Elliot is a fun Sesame Street-ish host, talking to his viewers while leading a multicultural group of kids in fun stretches, cardiovascular exercises, and a cooldown. The routine is broken up by the animated Elliot's silly antics and bouncy songs, keeping short attention spans engaged, and allowing rest in between exercise segments. Amusing sound effects and multiple camera angles keep the workout moving right along. It's never too early to start good physical fitness habits, and this video is a reasonably priced creative jump-start in that direction. Highly recommended. Aud: K,E, P. (E. Gieschen)
