TAMPA, FL--(Marketwire - Mar 22, 2012) - Carrie Scheiner, founder and CEO of www.exploracise.com, has unveiled a new lineup of learning tools incorporating fun, education and exercise, with a revamped website including forums and other interactive features.
The highlights of the new products and programs are the Exploracise® Multiplication and Addition Ellipsoids, soft stuffed footballs. They make learning the fundamentals more fun than flash cards while getting healthy exercise too.
Scheiner integrates learning math facts with exercise in a DVD for kids, Exploracise® Gymathtics® (www.exploracise.com), that has reaped 14 awards in less than two years.
For Scheiner, a Tampa, Fla., mother of two, it's all about the numbers. She has a bachelor's in math and secondary education, and a master's in statistics from Rutgers University.
"One-third of U.S. children are overweight or obese and 61 percent of fourth-graders are not proficient in math," she says.
"As adults, we don't think about it, but much of our exercise regimens revolve around counting," she says."So I began thinking about how much more fun and healthy learning math could be for kids if we combined it with exercise to address those two growing national pandemics."
The Exploracise programs and products teach math facts aimed at ages 5 and older while younger children enjoy learning the new vocabulary. Whether tossing around one of the new Exploracise footballs or having quality educational screentime, kids learn math through fun interactive experiences.
"Research shows that exercise improves learning, and multi-sensory learning techniques improve recall of information," Scheiner says.
Several child advocacy groups agree. Exploracise® has won the Mom's Best Award, Teacher's Choice Award from Learning Magazine, Homeschool.com's Seal of Approval, and Dr. Toy's 10 Best Active Products, among other honors.
"I want to encourage children everywhere to develop a love of learning and a healthy lifestyle for a successful life," Scheiner says. "Learning through fun, interactive techniques and making healthy choices from a young age will lead to happy, healthy adults who can achieve their full potential."
