Kids San Francisco - March 03, 2008
Working on the Night Moves
Chicks-n-Chickens “Lullaby Exercises”
Hush, little baby, don’t say a word. Mama’s going to burn a few lbs. while she rocks you to sleep.
Alameda mom Darcy Novo Albrecht used her dance and cheerleading background to create Lullaby Exercises. The 35-minute, multipurpose DVD features exercises set to singer/songwriter Lisa Phenix’s upbeat bluesy rock soundtrack.
Wear a sling to do the easy sets designed to chill fussy ones and work muscles. Warm up with a line dance then move on to squats (pipsqueaks love the up-and-down action). The groove set works the abs standing up. And, last but not least, the sleep set sends your infant to snoozeville.
No mockingbirds or diamond rings required.
Check out a live demo at the release party, Saturday, March 8, 11 a.m-4 p.m., at Crosstown Coffeehouse, 1303 High Street, at Encinal Avenue, Alameda (510-864-8600 or crosstowncoffee.org). Preorder online at chicks-n-chickens.com.
