Hi again,
Here is some info I got off of a website, about the tae bo for kids. It's from:
http://www.collagevideo.com/cart/default.aspx
They are a great resource. I have never bought from them, as I buy most stuff off ebay, but I use their website to look up info on dvd's. They even rate them, beginner, etc. They also have a 60 second preview you can look at.

Description: A genuine Tae Bo workout specially created for 5 to 11-year-olds. The fast-paced moves are all classic Tae Bo, just slightly simplified to match your child's abilities (and attention span). Billy makes it both fun and easy-to-follow (e.g. he tells them to "move like a windmill" during the speed bag routines). And his interactive approach is also very child-motivating - the kids love it when he shouts out a compliment or personally works one-on-one with an exerciser. Features a diverse group of all-sizes-and-shapes children. ©2005. (40 min.).

Nice workout for adults, too!
I bought this DVD for my sons, age 2 and 3. They enjoy it for about 5 minutes, then decide to start doing other things around the house. I do the workout while they are running around. It is great and easy to follow. Can't wait until my kids are older so that they will finally pay attention to the whole video. Posted by Leslie on 6/27/2005.
This tape is great
My seven-year old son plays soccer and tee-ball, but is a little soft in the middle. We have been kicking the soccer ball and walking when it's nice out, but we needed something to do inside when the weather is uncooperative and this tape fit the bill! He really likes to do it! He can follow the moves pretty well and his form gets better each time we do it! I love that he can work his core wihtout doing crunches! Billy is also really motivating and seems good with the kids.

Tae Bo Rocks!
I popped in the DVD on the last day of school with my special needs Kindergarteners and lower elementary students (about 14 students) and found that they had a blast with it. My troublemaker was able to keep up with the moves and even pushed someone out of his way so he could see the screen. I have trouble getting my students to focus on anything and they stayed on focus for most of the 39 minutes. The students I thought couldn't count were able to count to 8 with Billy and one even asked his mother to buy the video for him. This is definitely one fitness DVD I will use to motivate my students next year. It has simple moves and you work up a nice sweat. Recommended for ages 5-12. Posted by Lori on 6/9/2005.
Hints to Read the Video Description
Return to the video description
Time Graph: An ACE-certified instructor actually DOES every video. So our exclusive time graph shows you the exact sequence and timing of every exercise segment. Each segment's length is proportional to the duration of that exercise. For example, the workout below starts with a 10-minute warm-up, followed by 15 minutes of aerobics, etc. Note: The color coding system is always consistent (e.g. aerobics is always red, stretch is always green, etc.).
Some workouts combine the aerobics and toning into a single section. There are two ways to do that. The "interval" technique alternates short segments of aerobics and toning (e.g. one minute of aerobics, then one minute of toning, then back to one minute of aerobics, etc.). The "blended" technique integrates the aerobics within the toning (e.g. doing a toning move at a pace fast enough to raise your heart rate). The graphs for these two techniques will show both red and blue elements:
Note: We also tell you the length of the entire video, including any non-workout informational segments. That length is shown in parenthesis at the end of each description.
Both the lists of video types and the individual descriptions also provide information on fitness level, impact, choreography, and toning emphasis.
Fitness Level: After we do the workout, we rate its level as:
Beginner: Just starting to exercise or if you're very overweight or haven't exercised for 6+ months
Intermediate: Fairly active in sports, dance or some type of regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).
Advanced: Very active in sports or have been exercising four or more times per week for 6 months.
Impact: Aerobics videos will indicate an impact level -- low, mixed or higher. Lower impact routines keep one foot on the ground at all times. Higher-impact moves include jumps, skips or hops. Choose the style that fits your physical situation and your movement preference.
Choreography: Aerobics videos will also indicate the choreography type -- complex, moderate or basic. Select complex if you like intricate combinations with lots of variations. Choose basic if you like simple, easy-to-follow "athletic" routines. The moderate style blends both approaches.
Toning Emphasis: Muscle toning videos will indicate the primary body areas (muscle groups) that are worked in this program. Choose the body areas that you especially want to sculpt and tone.
