About This Video

In this guided movement video, Chelsea leads participants through kickboxing to music.

At the beginning of the video, Chelsea reminds participants that they can adjust any movement as needed and that safety comes first. She encourages participants to make sure they have enough space around them, especially if they are exercising in a group, so they do not accidentally bump or punch into someone nearby.

The video uses music to guide the movement. Chelsea explains that certain parts of the song will match certain exercises, so participants can begin to recognize the pattern as they practice. As they get to know the music, they may be able to follow the repeated exercise cues with more confidence.

This video gives participants a guided movement activity focused on kickboxing-inspired movement, music, rhythm, coordination, body awareness, space awareness, listening to the body, and having fun while staying safe.

Good For

• Adults with IDD who enjoy music, movement, kickboxing-inspired exercise, rhythm, or higher-energy guided activities.

• Caregivers looking for a movement video with safety reminders, repeated music cues, flexible movement options, and encouragement to listen to the body.

• Adult day programs, home routines, or group activities about exercise, body awareness, coordination, rhythm, movement safety, and self-expression.

• Participants who benefit from visual modeling, music-based repetition, flexible pacing, and permission to adjust movements as needed.

How to Use This Video

Use this video as a guided movement activity for a home routine, day program, small group, or supported exercise session.

Caregivers can help participants choose a safe place to move, clear the area, adjust the volume, and make sure there is enough space between people. Participants can follow Chelsea’s movements closely or modify the activity to what feels safe and comfortable in their own bodies.

This video may work well for participants who enjoy music and repeated movement patterns. Caregivers can pause before starting to review the safety reminders: make space, avoid bumping or punching near others, listen to the body, rest when tired, and stop right away if anything hurts.

Because kickboxing-inspired movement can involve punches, direction changes, arm movement, balance, coordination, music, and possible fatigue, caregivers can provide support with pacing, safety, hydration, breaks, volume, personal space, and movement modifications as needed.

At the end, participants can notice how their bodies feel, name a favorite movement, and return to this video again as they become more familiar with the music and exercise patterns.
