The DVD "65 Energy Blasts" was developed by Engage Communications Inc. The DVD contains 65 easy to learn and fun workouts for kids. The purpose of the activities is to give elementary classroom teachers a resource to energize their students with a short in-class workout. This upbeat and fun activity break enables the students to focus more on their school work. In addition the DVD reminds the children of the importance of exercise, good nutrition, and having fun.

Each energy blast is led by the energetic Judy Howard- a teacher, mother, and great role model who has an obvious passion for inspiring and motivating children to lead active, healthy lives. There are four "blast" themes- African, athletic, Latin, and hip hop. Each theme contains dance moves that are easily learned and great from improving coordination, balance, agility, strength, and overall fitness level. Moreover, Judy gives young students a healthy hint in each blast that emphasizes the importance of exercise and nutrition.

At the present time, Energy Blasts is being broadcast twice a day across Canada on public TV. Energy Blast is wonderful, and highly recommended for the elementary classroom teacher or physical education specialist. Judy is fun, upbeat, and certainly inspiring as she teaches these simple dance moves that are easy for everyone to learn.
