Those simple exercises opened up a door that  would change the now 10-year old\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>Senter  has produced several fitness videos and recently became a workout <strong><a title=\"C.J. Senter The Workout Kid on YouTube\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-rbPVlFJ-rk&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube  sensation<\/a><\/strong>. His videos launched his popularity as they show a very  muscular and energetic child leading people through a <strong><a title=\"Change Your Fitness Routine \" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/03\/how-to-change-your-fitness-routine-for-a-more-effective-workout\/\">fitness routine<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At  first, the masses were appropriately concerned at the sight of this  extremely chiseled child.

Senter  created his own routines and completes those three times a week, after  his homework is done, of course. His routines involve fun and safe moves  that get kids up and moving. Senter has a few signature moves in his  routines along with many traditional moves. The routines do not require  any equipment and focus on the importance of warming up, taking water  breaks, and cooling down.<\/p>\n<p>The Workout Kid videos have had over 1 million  views on YouTube and his DVDs are in high demand. Most of the DVDs have  been given away, as the Senter family believes that helping kids get  off the couch is the primary objective, not making money.<\/p>\n<p>Despite  all the fame, C.J. Senter still seems like a normal kid. He loves to  play football, play with his friends, and even play video games. He  admittedly just loves to be healthy and from the looks of it, he truly  is. He\u2019s obtained great fitness the right way and he\u2019s having fun doing  it.
