Product Name: Exploracise GyMathics DVD
Company: Exploramania
Price: $24.95
Product Description: GyMathics is a 30-minute dvd featuring a complete exercise workout that also teaches math concepts at a target age group of 2nd – 5th graders. The workout includes a warm-up with shape stretches, counting calisthenics, pattern power (for strength training) and a well-being wind down. To see a list of the math facts covered in this dvd, visit the Exploramania website here.
My take: This is a cute dvd. The kids liked the exercises and they were simple enough that the 5 year old could participate. After repeating this workout the kids could easily pick up on alot of the math facts and concepts. Kids do seem to retain more when they’re having fun and not ‘learning’. = )
While we enjoyed the program, I’m not sure we would purchase another for the price of $24.95. Maybe if we were also getting some of the cool accessories they have available. That is a lot for a one-income homeschool family… for a 30-minute dvd. If you’re looking for an exercise program do give the Exploramania website a look. They have some other fun products available to enhance the exercise experience. We would be more likely to purchase these items than another dvd seperately.

Cool, huh? I love those thumballs. We could really use that multiplication one around here!
