GyMathtics is a 30 minute exerscize video that combines exercise and math. Yippee! The format of the video is like this…
Part 1 – Shape stretches warm up. This is exactly as it sounds. While you’re warming up for the exercises to follow, you’re doing movements that make you think of various shapes.
Part 2 – Counting Calisthenics. This was the favorite here. It’s basically counting, including skip counting, put to movements. This is great way to exercise and learn skip counting!
Part 3 – Pattern Power – basically this showed various patterns on the side of the screen combined with various exercises
Part 4 – Well-Being Wind Down. This is exactly as it sounds. This is the wind down portion of the video which incorporates stretches with healthy lifestyle instructions.
Personally, I could have down without the lifestyle instructions, but all in all I think it’s a worthwhile children’s exercise video. I can imagine it would be a wonderful thing to pull out in the dead middle of winter when everyone needs to burn off some energy. It’s a bit cheesy, but I do like that it combines movement and math. Whenever I can sneak in math I think it’s a good idea to do so!
