- - - - CHICAGO, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- As children spend more time indoors playing video and computer games, keeping them physically fit can be a challenge for today's parents. Because of this lack of physical activity, childhood obesity in the United States has doubled since 1970. How can we help our kids get a "jump" on the benefits of exercise? One person who has successfully pursued an answer is Chicagoan Erin Moore. In her new video, "Rope Around the World," Moore demonstrates the non-stop, contagious energy which has entertained school assembly audiences and MTV viewers. She even performed at the last presidential inauguration! Dubbed the "Hip Hopper" for her phenomenal ability to jump rope while sitting on her hips, Moore has transformed this retro activity into an exciting, interactive workout program she calls "Jump Moore." In "Rope Around the World," the energetic star shares the joy of jumping rope as she skips around the globe from the Eiffel Tower in Paris to New York's Times Square. "I find that jumping rope has a universal appeal," says Moore. "Everywhere I go both children and adults love to give it a try!" A gymnast, dancer and professional high diver, Moore exudes the positive benefits of physical fitness. While on world tour with the U.S. Extreme High Dive Team (her specialty is the 85-foot platform dive!), Moore fell in love with jumping rope. "It's portable and the best way to keep in tip-top shape," she explains. "Rope Around The World" is not only a travelogue of Moore's rope skipping adventures, it is also a step by step tutorial of the "Jump Moore" program that teaches jumping rope to children and adults alike, regardless of skill level. Moore's engaging spirit combined with the video's hip style and original soundtrack will get kids up off the couch and moving to the beat. "Rope Around the World" is available from Amazon.com for $14.95. A portion of the proceeds benefit fitness programs for inner city children. SOURCE The Hip Hopper Inc.
