Worth adding to your Sesame Street "rotation"

Ok, so I got this one because of the title. Anything "Elmo" will probably end up in our home. It's not my favorite, but, of course, I bought it for my daughter, now 17 months. She enjoys it simply because Elmo is in it, and she loves his voice. However, in the segments when Elmo isn't involved, she does tend to lose interest. As a teacher who is married to a former special ed. bus driver, I agree it's important to include children with a wide range of abilities; unfortunately, as another reviewer pointed out, Workout in a Chair is pretty bad in a "grate on your nerves" sort of way. We don't watch this one often, but it makes a good filler when we've seen our other videos too much in the last week.

Not the best Elmo video, but if you're like me, and need to rotate your videos for your own sanity, go ahead and add it to your collection.

Fun to watch, but not to get fit!

I bought this video expecting it to help my 4 year old exercise more, but it it more of an entertaining video ABOUT exercise. The songs are designed to get children moving but the breaks between songs are too long, so the momentum is broken. My daughter who is great at following directions, had a hard time following it. She likes to do things "the right way," but the children are frequently all doing different things(rather than moving in unison)...so she gives up and just watches. It is okay, but I'd say there are better Sesame Street videos out there for your $$. This one tries to be both entertaining and good for exercise, but it meets neither goal very well.

One of the worse ones

Apparently they hired their singers off the street without hearing them as they are terrible. No surprise in that Cyndi Lauper is horrible, she always was. My 1 1/2 year old will sit and watch it sometimes but she seems to find this one boring as well. It gets a 2 instead of a 1 as it has Elmo and my daughter will watch it sometimes, but other elmo videos you couldn't pull her away from. There are certainly videos out there more deserving of your money. Bleggh!
