Not your ordinary workout program

And that's good news. It's about time someone took work out of workout. I don't have kids but I hear a common complaint is that kids just aren't getting enough exercise these days. A recent study indicates that 32% of Texas kids between the ages of 10 and 17 are overweight. Parents are correct. Now, what do you do about it? An enterprising young dancer at a local Dallas gym has come up with something brilliant. Hip Hop Kids, it's an hour worth of exercise that's more funout than workout. The teenagers learn all sorts of dance moves to some pretty cool hip hop music and at the end of an hour they have burned about 300 calories without even knowing it.

One mom I had a conversation with said her two daughters always have their headphones on so they might as well get fit at the same time. When 32% of the kids in Texas are considered overweight, mom knows best.
