A few weeks ago we received a kids exercise video to review. This was not just any video. It was exercise and math facts combined into one video called Gymathics.
How does one combine exercise and math facts? During this video the instructor and her assistants do various exercises. While they are excercising they are also showing math concepts on the screen.
My boys loved this video! They were both interested in the exercising and learning math facts. We have used the video several times and this will be great with the upcoming cold winter months when we are stuck inside and need to burn off some energy.
The video runs 30 minutes. It is geared for 2nd to 5th grade level. It is available for purchase for $24.99 plus free shipping and handling.
Exercises and math facts covered:
- Shape Stretches Warm Up: Stretch your mind and body with line, circle, and polygon stretches.
- Counting Calisthenics: Aerobic movements work your heart as fun counting concepts work your brain.
- Pattern Power: Growing and repeating pattern exercise combinations challenge minds and strengthen muscles.
- Well-Being Wind Down: Relaxing stretches cool down the body and open the mind to think about healthy lifestyle choices including the Nice Wave Stretch and Big Dream Stretch.
You can find more information about Gymathics by visiting the Exploramaina website. There is a video sample you can watch. They also offer other exercise products.
