Workout with Your Kids

Can anyone recommend a good workout DVD to buy to do with a toddler? We are ordering a yoga for families DVD but would like something else, too. We love to dance so I was looking for a good dance type workout DVD to do with my 3 and half year old son. Any suggestions?

    get them to dance...any form of dancing...mine isn't a toddler but he really makes me sweat when we do dance central...try zumba, or hip hop work outs, they should be easy to look up on amazon.com

    I was gonna ask if you have the wii. My kids LOVE Just Dance 2 and I just saw they have a Just Dance Kids. So now I know what to get my 5 yo for her birthday! They are 2 and 4 and do better at the game than me!!

    If you have a Wii there is a game called Just Dance that is a great workout. They also have one that is Just Dance Kids, but I have not tried that one.

    Hi. I am a Mom of two little boys (2 1/2 and 4) and I watch my niece 4 days a week. We do not have a specific DVD or anything but everyday we have "dance time". I use my Ipod or the music channels on the tv (80s music works the best). We all dance around and I do aerobics to the music. They get really into it. Good luck with your weight loss and let us know if you do find a good DVD that the little ones can do. Also Add me as a friend if you would like, I do not know to many people on here yet.

    My nearly 3 yr old loves to join in with my 30 day shred, jumping along to the cardio and lying on the floor with her legs in the air for the ab section!

    Shaun T's Fit Kids has dancing. We did this with our daughters a couple of years ago.
