Kids Get Movin'

Adults have used exercise videos for years now, so why not make an exercise video for children? This is exactly what UCLA dance educator and dance kinesiologist, former Fitness Editor of Shape Magazine and founder of The Center for Movement Education and Research (CMER) Judy Gantz thought. With the help of Ken Shapiro, former "Everybody Loves Raymond" Director and Technical Coordinator and CDK Productions, this mother of two produced "Kids Get Movin'", an exercise DVD directed toward children ages 6-13.

"Kids Get Movin'" combines hip hop movement for cardiovascular benefits with stretching and relaxation through yoga. Recently released, the proceeds from sales of this DVD will be used by CMER to support movement education programs in the public schools. Learn more at www.kidsgetmovin.com.
