Getting around is essential for our children to develop physically properly. There are children who do not stop but others need to propose activities that motivate them to Exercise them and the rest of the family: Let's all move!
There are fun games that we can play with our young children that encourage the habit of moving and also provide a varied exercise that will put your whole body in shape. And in addition, the ideas that we propose are not exclusive for children, we will all benefit from doing them with them.
Children, anyway, naturally, are predisposed to exercise and their bodies will adapt perfectly. Yes the habit of moving remains from childhood They will have a better physical shape, adequate weight and an excellent shape, which will benefit their cardiovascular system and their overall health.
Ideas for young children to move
Actually, we can start exercising with the baby very soon, but that is when young children gain some security by running around when we can make fun games with them that encourage physical activity and keep your body in shape. Of course, to have a better time we also have to do the exercise program ourselves.
An idea that we propose are the soap bubbles. They fascinate them, they drive them crazy and they are so beautiful. We can blow bubbles and ask them to catch them. They will not stop jumping and running, in addition to laughing a lot.
Another one of the things that will motivate you the most is accompany the game with music, dance with us and ride a march playing instruments or go from one side of the house to the other to go sound the one we ask you to play.
We can also play at imitations of movements, be simple exercises like jumping, waving your arms or kicking the air rhythmically, be movements that represent animals while we make the corresponding sound. We are going to squat, walk crouching, jump and move the trunk, first us and then them. And let's have a great time.
Children from three years
From the age of three, children acquire greater control of their motor skills. and understand verbal instructions better. In addition, they enjoy developing their creativity and striving to achieve new goals. All of that can be an additional motivation to our fun exercise programs.
The materials that we are going to need for our exercise program are simple and easy to find: balls, ropes, long elastic bands, chalks, shovels and buckets. With this we will have a children's gym that, combined with the park, will allow our child to be fit and fun. And there are no excuses, if we don't have time to go to the gym, we can fit in with our children.
With elastic rubber we can make several "traps" that have to go over or under, but without touching them. It is a great game that will put us, less flexible, in some trouble.
Then with the rope extended on the ground, we must make balances imagining that we walk on an abyss or on the crater of a volcano. If we still have the strength we can try to teach them to "pass the boat" and skip the rope, although I must confess that I have never been able to coordinate so much.
In the street or the yard we can do other activities, such as playing chasing balls or throwing them softly into our hands and making a big hole in the ground where to bury a treasure or invent that we found one. They will love it and they will move all the muscles.
Finally, on the sidewalk we can draw a hopscotch or any variant that comes to mind and start jumping to the limp leg. After this exercise program "Let's move all!" I assure you that you will get the whole family in shape and that, after one night, you will fall in bed.
