Fit Girl: Kardio Kick

Counselor and personal trainer Gina Guddat provides instruction for this straightforward fitness routine designed for teens. After an introduction that explains attendant benefits—such as good posture and alignment—Guddat and her team of young women march, squat, and stretch for a brisk warm-up. Featuring various elements from boxing, Kardio Kick focuses on arms and legs with moves including front and cross punch, upper cut, block, jabs, snap kick, knee lifts, kick outs, and others, joined together in combination segments. Also featuring a cool-down (with Guddat sharing advice about maintaining healthy organs and avoiding fad diets), this program is nicely suited for the target audience (any “booty-shaking” or pole-worthy elements are thankfully absent here). Recommended. [Note: also newly available in the series are: Fit Girl: Dance Moves and Fit Girl: Sports Drills.] Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
