MASALA BHANGRA INDIAN DANCE KIDS AEROBICS WORKOUT DVD

Sarina Jain is back with the Masala Bhangra Workout Volume V...for Kids (40 mins), which is designed to be fun and invigorating, but also has a more serious purpose in mind. "My mission is to inspire kids to stay physically and mentally active on a daily basis, grow healthy and teach them a little bit of my culture at the same time," Jain says. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the percentage of children and adolescents who are defined as overweight has more than doubled since the early 1970s, with about 15 percent of them now seriously overweight. Masala Bhangra Workout™ was first created in 1999.

SARINA JAIN Sarina Jain, America's first cross-cultural fitness star is the creator of the Masala Bhangra WorkoutTM. She is an energetic fitness innovator, music-video choreographer and international television/radio personality. She hosts her own TV segment on Discovery Channel's Fit TV and has a show on Exercise TV.tv. Her regular appearances on NBC's "Today,” and other major media have catapulted her to fame across mainstream America, and solidified her place as "Jane Fonda” of America.

Although India's glitzy Bollywood films have featured Bhangra and other folk-dances and music for awhile (think: diaphanous orange scarves; glittering bindis; and wrists swiveling towards the heavens), it took a vivacious, young Indian-American fitness instructor to devise the concept of choreographing Bhangra along with modern, funky dance moves to appeal to the American exercise industry. In the process, Jain has impacted the entire fitness industry, and has been heralded in the press throughout the U.S. and the world.

Jain introduced her Bhangra-style fitness routine to the U.S. with her first workout tape in 1999, and has since directed and produced a total of five high- intensity workouts in her Masala Bhangra WorkoutTM video/DVD series. Born in California, she started leading fitness classes at a very young age, and has been a certified fitness instructor for more than 18 years plus. She completed studies in marketing and public relations in Los Angeles, before founding her company, Masala Dance & Fitness, Inc. in 1999. She soon relocated to New York where she successfully cultivated a larger audience for her cross-cultural fitness ideas.

Jain proudly embraces her Indian heritage, and is an active member of the Indian-American community. "People fall in love with the beat of Bhangra,” Jain says, "the music combined with its sensuous, vigorous movements recreates the excitement that an occasion is being celebrated. People have so much fun; they don't realize they are getting an awesome cardiovascular and muscle-strengthening workout. Bringing the Masala Bhangra WorkoutTM to people all over the world is so gratifying-- I am absolutely living my dream.”
