I thought this was a wonderful DVD because of the following factors:

*The goal of this Billy Blank's DVD is to get kids off their feet and exercising. In this day and age of television, video games, and a joke of physical education in schools, it's up to parents to stress the importance of regular fitness activity.

*The diversity is great. The children on this DVD consist of both boys and girls, ages of about 5 to maybe 12 or 13 years old, all sizes from thin to slightly chubby, and different nationalities.

*Billy Blanks is just a very good instructor and you can see why he's loved by young and old. He motivates the kids and makes the moves entertaining for them, even throwing in a couple of old dance moves. :-) Billy Blanks speaks from the heart and you can tell that he honestly wants everyone to be fit.

As far as the fitness level, I could see kids doing this but it gets a little trickier when you get to the floor exercises if you haven't exercised in a while. The good thing about this particular DVD is since it's geared towards kids, Billy places less emphasis on getting moves perfect, his main focus is to get the kids to realize that exercise is fun.

Overall, I think this is a great DVD to add to your collection. It's something you and your kids can enjoy doing together.

I bought this for my kids ages 8 and 5 who only have P.E. twice a week at school. Both kids are able to do most on first try. Billy Banks is good at encouraging kids and stresses doing exercise rather than getting every move right. Great kids DVD.

I would recommend this product.great foundation for fitness for our kids. Start them young and hopefully it will last a lifetime. Good 40 min. program. changes it enough so that it is not boring. My six year old thinks it is too long, but my 10 year old doesn't complain. My three year old just joins in whenever. Not too hard.

This is great for beginning exercisers. It is not hard to keep up with and my children love it.

I bought this for my 6 year old, and she LOVES it! I thought it would be a little too much for her when I first watched it...I do Tae Bo myself, and the moves in this DVD are just a lot of moves from some of Billy Blanks regular Tae Bo workouts, just not quite as intense (of course, since this one is for kids!)It is about a 40 minute workout, and she completes the whole thing without taking a break (I always offer breaks, and she never takes one). She does very good, and it is her favorite of all the other workouts she has, so I give it "THUMBS UP"!

My son loves this workout. He's 10 and really gets into it.

My 9-yr-old daughter and I love the Tae Bo Kicks dvd. It is a fun way for us to exercise together -- and that's saying a lot because we don't tend to enjoy working out. I highly recommend it!

I would have to say this is a great video. We have this and the Kick to Get Fit tape and my girls FIGHT over which one they are going to do. I do the workout with them and I enjoy it and I am sweating and breathing heavily when I am done.

If you are a triathlete this may be below your level. I can do the Tae Bo standard workout without a problem, but I would still call my fitness level a beginner. I have one overweight child and to assist her in getting more mobile I selected this DVD.

The moves are great, easy, the music is fun! My girls laugh and have a great time when they are doing this DVD. I am glad I made this purchase.

I recently adopted this DVD into our daily routine. My children are hooked. It is a great product to also use for postpartum mothers to get them back into the groove of exercising (use caution if a C-section was performed with the floor routine). Also, two of my family members were 8 and 9. Both children were 60 pounds overweight. The fact that the DVD features an overweight child helped them with their confidence. If she can I do, so can I, they said. After 3 months, they have lost 20 pounds each.

Ok DVD.
a little slow however if your kids are new to Tae Bo then it is worth it.
