"Childhood obesity is at an all time high with our children not exercising or eating properly. I developed this fun and educational DVD to teach children at an early age how to live a healthy lifestyle and to develop a love of learning math." As studies show, if we can teach children early how to live a healthy lifestyle including exercise and healthy eating that these lessons will last a lifetime. The Exploracise® Gymathtics® DVD combines exercise with learning math focusing on two critical national initiatives for children in America today.

This revolutionary concept has earned Exploracise® Gymathtics® recognition and honors from the top awards in toys and education. To many people this is a concept whose time has come especially as America recognizes the growing danger of child obesity to our health system and economy. Such concerns has led First Lady Michelle Obama to launch an initiative to combat childhood obesity in the United States that will incorporate many of the themes that Exploramania® teaches in their DVD series. The First Lady in her "Lets Move" program is citing the need for children early in their life to begin healthy exercise, learn how to eat healthy, and remain committed to personal advancement through education, all of which are the hallmarks of Exploracise® Gymathtics®. The award winning DVD combines exercise and education using auditory, visual, and kinesthetic techniques increasing the retention and recall of the math concepts.
