Now this is the kind of exercise video I like – its so enjoyable that the exercise part kind of sneaks up on you! When the Chicks-n-Chickens DVD arrived, I was struck by the beautiful packaging and thought – ‘this is MY kind of exercise program’. I was ready to get crackin’, and typically my motivation fades pretty quickly. The video talks about being able to lull your baby to sleep with the gentle movements, so I thought – great, I can do both at the same time - tone up my legs and get a baby to sleep! It wasn’t long before I had the opportunity to try it out. As one baby napped away, and the other had NO interest in sleeping, I popped in the DVD.
The concept was developed by Darcy Novo Albrecht, a lifelong active woman that found an opportunity to incorporate movin’ and groovin’ into taking care of her chicks.
The introduction is so soothing and personal that it makes you really look forward to what’s to come. Its a great change from blaring music and shouting that often accompanies exercise. The video includes a great soundtrack by Lisa Phenix that makes you want to get movin’, so got my babe snuggled into her carrier and pressed play.
Her program does not disappoint. In fact, it makes you feel like you haven’t lost your groove from B.C. (before children) and knowing your babe is enjoying it is an added bonus! As I danced and my baby dozed, I found myself singing along to the soundtrack and having a ball. The next day, I felt like I had worked my body just enough – which is always the test that answers my question – will I try it again? A resounding yes! I’ve been hangin’ with Darcy and her crew a few times a week and now I feel like we’re old friends!
One lucky winner will receive this great program. Just check out the Chicks-n-Chickens website and let us know why you’d enjoy movin’ and groovin’. Contest ends in one week – Good Luck!

what a great way to begin to burn those post- preg pounds! I love that it is low impact and that it is something that I could do 15 mins at a time- no major commitment!
please do share!
Any new Mom can enjoy the benefits of some post pg exercise especially if it makes you get up and move.
Oh this would be wonderful. 2 babies in under 2 years…yeh, I could use this, lol
thanks!
I would lovvve this! My baby’s due in February and I’m already debating how to get rid of these extra “too many comfort food” pounds. The only workout DVD I have right now is Carmen Electra — and god love her, but I don’t need a body like that directing me while I’m toting around an infant and worn out from hopping headfirst into motherhood. This DVD would definitely be well-loved here :]
This looks so fun! I’m pregnant with my third child and I think I could do this with my baby and 2 toddlers.
Great program with awesome opportunity to get rid of extra pounds! I will need this pretty soon.
We are endlessly looking for things to keep my 15-month old movin’ and groovin’ alongside me – it is the time she is happiest! This sounds like the perfect fit to keep us going!
WOW! What a GREAT concept! I would love to win this for me and my nine month old!
I love that you can hold your baby and exercise at the same time!
It’s cute…I could see myself doing this DVD over others since it would occupy both baby and me.
I’d like to try this out with my twins! ot only could I se the exericse, but it would be a great way to keep the babies occupied too! Love it!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh how neat is this! I would love to try this with my youngest son who is 18 months old. Thanks for a great giveaway
This sounds like a great way to soothe & bond with baby while getting some exercise too!
You are definitely correct about the packaging; its absolutely gorgeous!
I think the concept of exercising with babe is wonderful, its low impact and fun!
My step daughter just gave birth to a new son and would love this.
Thanks
What a great idea. How fun to be able to your your baby while moving, swaying, stretching and relaxing to music. A workout and comforting your baby! What more could one ask for?! Please enter my name in your drawing. Many thanks, Cindi
i love that i can do it with my son.i try to excercise when my son is around but he keeps getting into trouble, this way i wont have to stop to chase him!
Toning, soothing, bonding, AND sleep? What more could a mom want? I would love to try this out, I love dancing with my kids and am trying to find a fitness program. I’ll have my third in 3.5 years this summer, so I really need a program I can do with my kids!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve got twins and this would be fantastic!
What a great way to work on getting back into those pre-pregnancy clothes while having fun with baby!
A fun way to work out?? Does it really exist? Looks like it does and it is something I really need!! I have been in such a slump lately–having a 3 yr old and the baby, it seems like I am not motivated to work out and do something nice for myself. When I do have a little time, I want to get housework done or slump down on the couch!! Usually working out is not my idea of fun, but dancing, moving and relaxing with my kids would be such a great way to shed some of these extra pounds while I am still spending time with the kids!! I would LOVE to have this!!!
I am not entering this one, but I had to say how great of a product this is. My youngest is getting a little too heavy for this, but I would have loved this for all four of my children. Excellent review too!
OOOh this looks so fun! I tried an aerobics DVD after I had my baby & it wasn’t so fun … doing it with a baby along to fun music sounds perfect!
OMG, this looks amazing!
What a great idea! I am always looking for something active I can do with my little girl- she hates the stroller so walks are impossible! It’s just what I need!
I’d enjoy this because I still have baby weight to shed, and it’s be so fun to do with my daughter! We already dance like fools to Yo Gabba Gabba. She loves it!
Ooo, the idea of getting my two week old to sleep is just as exciting as squeezing in a workout!
This looks so fun!! My baby is due in February and I’m already nervous about getting back into shape! I love that you can work out and hold your baby at the same time! What a great idea!
This is an awesome idea!! I need to shed some baby weight!!

I am excited to start movin’ and groovin’ after my first little one comes in May. I used to run a lot, but I am sure that I will need to get back into exercising slowly…this sounds like it would be great! Thanks so much!
well, I wouldn’t wear my baby while doing this, she’s almost 18 months. but she loves to dance and would have a blast doing this along with me!
This would be great for those winter months when it is too cold and snowy to be outside with the stroller.
I think this looks like a lot of fun. I have tried Baby Yoga etc. and my daughter just insn’ttoo into it so my workout always gets cut short.
Thank you Baby Luxe! What an amazing site you have and we’re honored to be on it. Groove to soothe girlfriends!
XOXOXO,
Darcy (a.k.a The “chick” from Lullaby Exercises)
I like that it can be done quickly (15 mins). And it will keep me and my baby bonding during workouts.
This looks awesome! My five month old baby girl doesn’t like to take naps and this might help a mommy out. I would also love to lose those extra pregnancy pounds.
I would love to get this DVD since I am trying so hard to lose those extra pounds and my little boy just doesn’t want to be put down (and he weighs a ton for his age!).
This is a great way to get rid of those extra pounds that we gain while being pregnant!
i’d enjoy the movin and groovin to help get rid of these post post pregnancy pounds
Sounds great! Mom gets some exercise & fun while baby is rocked to sleep!
What a great way to shed pounds and stay close with your child. I want to win!
Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking you feeds also, Thanks.
I really like your blog and the way you have it laid out.
