With an emphasis on the good feelings that go with fitness, this program is set at Elmo's exercise camp and features kids and Muppets bending, stretching, and generally getting more fit. Cyndi Lauper is the appealing guest star, the banter between Muppets is funny, and songs include "Workout in a Chair" and "Do the Benny Hop." --Tom Keogh

 Kinda depends on what you want and need October 29, 2007

I think part of the point of this was that exercise can be fun and doesn't have to be done exactly "right"--just get up and move! And in that sense, it works beautifully; my 2 1/2 year old is up and singing and dancing for the whole 30 minutes.
It's true that the moves are a little free form, but what do I expect for a toddler? (I don't WANT her to think that if she's not "perfect" it doesn't count! I want her to be happy to move her body to the music.) It's true that the workout in a chair woman probably doesn't make the bulk of her living singing. But she obviously loves to dance, loves kids, and inspires them to move with her so this video does exactly what it should do.
So why did I deduct one star? I, personally, don't enjoy those songs very much and since my daughter does I hear them a lot anyway. I will be recommending this product to parents looking for an excercise video for little ones, and I'll also give them fair warning that this isn't the one the whole family is likely to enjoy.
Disappointed September 9, 2007
I purchased this DVD for my three year old who is in love with Elmo. I thought that it would be a sort of excercise video that would have the kids dancing around and moving instead of just watching another Elmo video, that way she gets to see Elmo but she is not just sitting in front of the TV. However, while the characters do dance sometimes, they stand around and talk about excercising more than actually doing anything. Essentially, the kids are just sitting watching another video.
Unfortunately My Little Also Likes it July 12, 2007

I bought this at a local thrift store which was great because it was cheap! From the moment I played it I wasn't keen on it, but unfortunately my little one liked it. However, he does request it as much as he use to. After 4 or 5 months of it, he's done. Thank God! I think he was just happy to see Elmo more than anything. He really DIDN'T LIKE the segment with the carton catapillar (with German accent) singing to get kids to stretch. He would shout "NO! NO! NO!) and make me fast forward it. It was great seeing Cyndi Lauper twisting and trying to do a cabana routine. Pure silliness! My advice, avoid it, but good overall message about exercising.
 Ugh...horrible music, horrible video! September 3, 2006

Eventhough my 21 month old daughter loves this video, I cannot stand it. Not only are some of the tunes incredibly REPETITIVE, but the song with Cyndi Lauper is dreadful. I am not impressed with this video at all, and I hope my daughter grows out of it pretty quick!
 Adrienne loves this video! June 30, 2006
I bought this at a yard sale for my 8 month old daughter and she will sit and watch this video, bouncing along to the music and throwing her hands around, with a huge smile on her face. This allows me to get some housework done! Otherwise, my daughter will not sit still or pay any attention to any other video or movie that we have. Since she started watching this, she is fascinated with Elmo and her face just lights up if she sees Elmo on tv or an Elmo doll at a store. The songs on this video, to adults, probably seem pretty bad, but if she gets fussy in the car, I can get her bouncing around and smiling again just by singing some of the songs. I give it 2 thumbs up!
