Hosted by bubbly certified personal trainer Kristi Dear, this exercise program geared towards kids aged 2-7 effectively combines simple moves, jazzy music, and creative background graphics (from fanciful colors and shapes to a realistic-looking gym). With the assistance of computer-animated bear cohort JoJo Fitz, Dear and child participants of various ethnicities--with cute matching shirts--giggle and bounce their way through warm-ups, followed by routines targeting arms, legs, and simplified cardio (“jump around!”). The segments are separated by brief explanations in which Dear praises fitness benefits and offers up relevant vocabulary, and the program also includes a section on “Eating Healthy” (when JoJo fills up on jellybeans, Dear explains the difference between “wrong” snacks that make you tired and good snacks that create energy), before concluding with a cuddly cool-down (“Sleep on your pillow tight, hug everyone in sight”).
