Need Family-friendly Exercise DVD

I am hoping something like this actually exists. Getting fed up with having my toddler tugging at my clothes & whining & climbing all over me while I attempt to do yoga with the DVD I already have. I can not afford classes or to send my daughter to a sitter just so I can exercise. Besides, I think it would be a great example for her to see me doing it. Not to mention, I was an overweight child, and I really want her to get into being active at an early age.
So finding a DVD to use at home that could appeal to her, while still actually being effective for ME to use too would be ideal.
TIA!

Parents Magazine makes a toddler/mom excercise video (I think there may be a yoga one). They are available at Target for around $14.

Helo S.,
There are SO MANY videos out there to choose from. Some of my favorites are from http://www.mycatpaws.com/
I've been using these for years for my preschool students as I am a PE techer. God bless!

I like the Yoga Kids DVDs. They have one that is an alphabet yoga. It has a pose for every letter of the alphabet. The istructor is great and there are a lot of kids on the DVD. If you do the entire alphabet, it is actually a great workout too! I got it at Target.

try an upbeat dancing workout. I use turbojam, it has fun music that the kids can dance to while you are working out. It is an infomurshal, but you can get it a beachbody.com, but there are others out there.

Hey S.,

How about incorporating you daughter into your yoga routine. I know that there are children's yoga DVDs, but I don't know the names of them. I think it would be easier to do your yoga with your daughter.

Parent's has two workout videos: Mom & Baby fitness and Mom & Toddler fitness. They incorporate your baby - SO fun! I think you can get it at Target.

Go get the Wii and the Wii Fit (it comes out today)! The two total will cost about $350, but WELL WORTH every penny!

I especially like the second one! Good luck, S.!
