Fun Exercise Routine for Kids
By Babysits, 2 min read
Kids have a lot of energy to use throughout the day! Recent social distancing measures mean that we need to stay inside, but that doesn’t mean we need to miss out on being active! To help get young kids up and moving in your living room or garden, we’ve created our fun Move Like an Animal exercise routine for you to follow along at home.
We all know that exercise is essential to living a healthy life, and that children also need to partake in regular exercise to lead healthy lives. If we can instill healthy lifestyle choices in our children from a young age, they’re far more likely to continue with those habits well into adulthood.
Studies have found that people who regularly exercise early-on in life are significantly more likely to exercise as adults when compared with those who didn’t regularly exercise as kids. Having access to exercise early in life also means that you’re more likely to maintain a healthier weight overall.
And if that wasn’t enough to influence you to get the kids moving - studies have also shown that regular exercise in children has a direct correlation with the developing brain. This means that exercise and sports can result in improved cognitive abilities, such as having a better memory.
The younger we can get our kids up and moving, the better it’ll be for their long-term health. Use our Move Like an Animal exercise routine and get active whilst having fun together!
You have 60 seconds to complete as many reps of each animal movement as you can. Let’s see how many you can do!
