American Movement Interval exercise

Channel info

Run by: Founded by musician Jay Driscoll and bandmate John Wayno, who started making workout interval music for their own CrossFit training before it grew into a real brand; the kids' spin-off was made and tested with their own children first.

Why we picked it: A genuine bootstrapped origin story with real crossover credibility in the adult fitness world (used by professional CrossFit athletes), now adapted specifically for kids' movement breaks.

Did you know? Tabata intervals (20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest) come from real Japanese sports-science research from the 1990s, originally designed for Olympic speed skaters.
