I teach 5th grade in Greenville, SC. The state requires that besides PE we have a
additional physical activity. Your CD is perfect. The kids laugh at the crazy backgrounds
no matter how many times they see them. They love to do the same gestures you make
between sets of exercises. They think the world of you. Keep up the good work, man!

I did want to share with you a little success story with our kids from your work on your website. One of our third
grade teachers uses your website three times daily. Our kids have to take tests three times per year to measure
reading, language arts and math scores. She used Fit with Fred before she took two of those tests and her
scores rose 123 points in language arts and 119 points in Math. She did not get to do the exercises before they
took the reading test and they only rose 67 points.

My 2 and 4yr old do fit with Fred about every night. We do the one on u-tube, then the active one on the web
site and cool down with the relax one. My son will do exercises randomly in the house, and before he wouldn't
even participate in P.E at school. This has brought him out of his shell. We really have enjoyed it.

Fred,
I teach a self contained special education class for kindergarten and first grade children with Autism, Behavior
Disorders, and other Developmental Delays. We found you on you tube one day while looking for movement
activities that would interest our children. They LOVE you! We have since downloaded some of your "freebies"
from your website to do as part of our morning routine on the SMARTBoard. It amazes me how each and every
child...no matter what their disability is...can and will do your workouts every morning. They just can't get enough
of you. So, today we have purchased both of your DVDs and we can't wait until they get here. We always do
an end of the year performance for our school and the families of the children in our classroom. Your workout
routines will definitely be part of our end of the year performance...so the parents can see how much they can
follow your routines and have fun while exercising. Thank you so much for creating these wonderful workouts!

Ticats Promote Active, Healthy Living in Schools Top
Students at the east Mountain’s Richard Beasley elementary had a chance to
teach players from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats a thing or two about fitness
recently.
About 130 students were thrilled at the opportunity to demonstrate their
school’s fun and engaging Daily Physical Education programme (DPA) –
called Fit with Fred – to members of Hamilton’s CFL team including Peter
Dyakowski and Chris Bauman.
Using technology to assist with exercise, large groups of students drawn from
across various grade levels vigorously improved their cardiovascular health
by mimicking the exercise patterns of a computer-generated character on a
projection screen.
It gave them a fun way to work up a sweat, to the tune of a high-energy
soundtrack. Ticat players joined in, after talking with students about healthy
lifestyle choices. The pro athletes discussed the importance of good eating,
daily exercise and the social benefits of getting exercise with peers. Ticats
also helped hand out healthy snacks the school gives students at nutrition
breaks to promote good health.
“It’s great to see our students so happy and enthusiastic about being active,
eating healthy and just having fun exercising”, says physical education
teacher Trevor Price. “And it’s great to see local community involvement that
encourages children to get out there and stay active.”
The visit was linked to Richard Beasley’s partnership with Hamilton Partners in
Nutrition, a partnership of community agencies and community members that
supports and facilitates local student nutrition programs.
It comes as the Ticats also visit many HWDSB schools as part of the BeFit
program that inspires students to eat nutritious breakfasts and be active.
Ticat players are serving breakfast to students all spring, and plan to visit 10
schools a month in 2010-11. They expect to reach 12,000 kids a year.

I discovered the video on You Tube, "5 Minute Workout for Kids" last year, in an effort to find a way to keep my
kids occupied and at least a little active on rainy days. They really enjoyed it, and since I've shared it in the
classroom where I work. I work in a DD classroom as a paraeducator, and again the workout is very well
received.
What is so very interesting about your program for me is that the presentation is genuinely fun. It isn't
condescending to the target audience. Even if it is deliberately silly, the delivery is made with sincere interest in
the audience experience. It is not in the least bit like an infomercial, and as such it is far superior to every other
workout video intended for kids I've yet encountered. I'm very much anticipating the DVD. The variation should
be an exciting part of our existing routine. I would love to learn when new volumes become available.
