highly recommended

Children love to exercise along with this program! The moves are easy to follow along with, while being fun & exciting enough to keep kids interested.

This program involves some of the same effective movements found in Martial Arts & fitness classes, but uses a NON-VIOLENT APPROACH. The muscles mechanics are exactly the same, but the violent characteristics of throwing a punch has been eliminated. INACTIVITY HAS LEAD TO OBESITY & POOR HEALTH IN CHILDREN EVERYWHERE - KICK TO GET FIT JR. WILL GET THEM MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

One Incredible Program - EXCELLENT

This is absolutely the most incredible program I've EVER seen. I generally don't write reviews, because most exercise programs I've seen don't deserve the time it takes to write one. So if I'm taking the time to write this one, let me tell you it is worth it. The words incredible, great, and excellent don't even come close to describing this program, I just couldn't think of any more powerful words to use.
The guy on this video, Rich Grogan, has really got something with this program. First of all he is fun, and entertaining for the kids. And the kids that are actually in the video are having fun (genuine fun, none of this paid actors fun), they're feeding off of Rich's positive energy, and having a good time with it. This is one of the major hooks that pulls you in, these kids are glowing with fun, energy, and excitement, and it is basically thrown into your living room when you watch the video. My kids at home can't just sit on the couch and watch this program, they have to get up and actually do the program. It is almost like some super-natural force grabs them and pulls them on the floor to begin exercising with Rich & the kids. I know this may sound strange, and I am sure some people are saying to themselves, "there is NO way my kid would be this excited about an exercise program". Well, I'm telling you it is true. And, it's not like my kids have only watched the program once or twice, we have basically wore out our VHS copy, and that is why we bought the DVD, which is even better, because now we can skip through to certain parts of the program when we are short on time. What I've been doing in the mornings, before summer camp, I'll get the kids up and pick a section of the video (DVD) and have them do that section before we leave for summer camp, or do the same at night before bed. I really would have thought by now that my kids would be tired of this video, but the way Rich has set the program up, it is still challenging for them. Rich continually tells the kids to have fun, and to do their very best, and to just do what they can. But he makes the program so darn fun that the kids really apply themselves, and do what they can to become better at the moves. Anyway, Rich does sets of 15 instead of the normal set of 5 or 10, this way, as he explains it, the kids can continue to advance within the program, because maybe they can only do 5 push ups or jumping jacks when they first start the program, but the goal is to reach 15, so they have to keep practicing at it. Another interesting thing Rich does is, he has the kids visualize they are grabbing apples & oranges instead of punching each other, or an imaginary opponet. At first I thought this was a little goofy, but once again as Rich explains it, it takes the violent aspect out of the technique, it makes it more fun for the kids, and if the kids pretend they are grabbing something they get a better stretch throughout the entire movement, both forward & back.
Did I say this video was Incredible?
I could list about 10 more things, but I think you get the picture. I'm telling you, BUY THIS FOR YOUR KIDS, it's amazing!
Hey Rich, if you read this, Your program is the greatest! Thank you from me & my kids!
Sincerely,
Thomas Jacobbson & Family

Great for gradeschools - The Best

This video is "A" #1 for gradeschool kids - PERIOD!!!!
My school district is made up of 10 gradeschools, so needless to say, there is a large number of teachers, parents & students involved within this district. I reviewed this video at a physical education conference, and was 100% sold on the ideas & concepts. I was in one of Mr. Grogan's demonstrations, which had about 200 P.E. teachers in the crowd. Let me tell you, I've been involved with physical education, school systems, and children for the past 25 years, and I don't think I've EVER seen the response given to a program the way people responded to this one. The word AWESOME doesn't even come close to describing the amount of fun we had with this program. So of course I bought a DVD for each one of the gradeschools in the district. And, without any surprise to me, I've received numerous phones calls from the teachers & parents as to how much they LOVE this program. The way Mr. Grogan interacts with the kids in the video, and the way he makes the viewers feel like they are part of the class is amazing. He is truly a professional in the art of teaching & interacting with children, and believe me, I've seen my share of poor teachers, especially poor P.E. teachers, who simply took the job as a P.E. teacher because they couldn't do anything else. Anybody who is serious about being a good teacher, especially with children, will quickly see how amazing Mr. Grogan's positive interaction is with the children in the video.
Mr. Grogan also explains in the video why he has changed some of the movements to eliminate the violent characteristics of punching & kicking. Mr. Grogan explains, instead of doing a cross punch, have the children pretend to grab apples, this will take the focus off of punching another student on the playground. But, by keeping the muscle mechanics the same as a punch, but simply changing the intent & meaning of the punch, the kids can still gain the positive benefits involved in throwing a punching technique. To actually see the kids on the playground saying & playing grab the apples & oranges, making apple pie & orange juice is pretty amazing to see. To fully understand this you'll have to see the video for yourself. And believe me, not only will you be impressed, but your kids will absolutely love the program and they will also impress you with the way they remember the movements, and how they often ask to do this program.
Without a doubt this is the best kids fitness program I've ever seen, and Mr. Grogan is one of the best at interacting with kids.

Great Program for Kids

My kids & I absolutely LOVE this program. The kids on this program are having fun, because it is a fun workout, and my kids & I enjoy watching these happy little faces exercise. Kids are motivated by other kids having fun, and the joyful atmosphere that Rich Grogan instills helps make this video my families personal favorite.


Not full of fluff..

At first, I was a little disappointed in the quality of the video. It did seem to be a home video, but I think that added to it's charm. Rich Grogan seems to be just like some of the father's I know around town, making silly mistakes in his routine. He's real. I found the workout to be easy enough for my 5 year old daughter to follow and challenging enough for me to get a good workout. I have never been able to follow a video workout before. This was great and enjoyable. Both my daughters and I enjoy the workout and get more out of it each time we do it AND it doesn't require a lot of space. I like it's simplicity.

Wow!

Now kids wont ever have to leave the house. They can suck down their McDonalds and then mommy wont have to feel guilty about not taking the 30mins to cook. I'm glad this stresses non-violence because no child would ever make the correlation between kicking and martial arts on TV. Now nobody will have to get the discipline benefits of martial arts programs along with the excersize they provide. Sweet!
