Introducing “Just You & Me Kid” – the Exercise DVD That Creates Healthy Habits and Bonds for Fit Family Fun

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“Just You & Me Kid” is the only workout program that targets both parents and children, encouraging family time together, building lasting bonds and healthy habits while getting fit together. Connie Butera, a writer and fitness enthusiast, was inspired when her nieces and nephews took an early interest in fitness and started working out with her. Connie realized she had a chance to make a lasting impression on the children and teach them habits that would last a lifetime.

“Many children can’t even pass a standardized fitness test”

“Children tend to emulate adults, and parents are the best role models, so I modified my workout to accommodate the fitness needs of kids of all ages, as well as parents, in order to create family fun with purpose,” says Ms. Butera. “The results for my nieces and nephews have been inspiring – they’re healthy, athletic and confident, and best of all we’ve created great bonds.”

Another motivating factor in creating the program was the feedback Ms. Butera received from school coaches and parents alike as she researched fitness needs of families. Time and again Connie heard that not every child seems to be fit enough to keep up with classmates, let alone make the team. “Many children can’t even pass a standardized fitness test,” Coach Dell Mims, former basketball player for The Harlem Ambassadors, said. There’s also the frightening statistic on the childhood obesity epidemic and how this generation of children may not outlive their parents. Likewise, many parents admitted to not having enough stamina or time to take care of themselves. “Just You & Me Kid” was specifically designed to help families get started in creating a fitness routine while having fun as a family.

“You can start this program anytime, no matter how old your kids are,” says Ms. Butera. “Our motto is ‘Families that get fit together, have fun together,’ and since we’re creatures of habit, why not build healthy habits that last a lifetime.”

The DVD consists of a fun, effective 20-minute cardio/toning workout and a more intense 10-minute cardio workout. Designed for all ages, the DVD features Ms. Butera with Daniel, 17, Andrew, 15, Brigette, 12, and Jacquilynn Maggio, 10, who help demonstrate the moves, making it a more enjoyable and relatable experience for families. The DVD is available for $15.99 at Amazon.com and www.justyouandmekid.com.
