Workouts for Kids at Home
If you have ever found yourself at home with your children, wanting to get them moving, we at Energetic Juniors have the answers for you. Here are several 'play' exercises that will get them moving and having fun at the same time; and you will enjoy the health benefits of the exercises, too! Pillow Toss
Lie down in a sit-up position with pillows by your side and a laundry basket a few feet away. On the cue of "1,2,3 Shoot off!", sit up and toss the pillow into the laundry basket. After the toss, lie back down and get ready for the next cue. Sit back up, throw again and try and get the pillow in the basket. See how many you get! To really make it fun try mixing it up with laundry or stuffed animal toss. Once they get 10 or so in the basket, give them a prize! This is a great core strengthening exercise that will help kids improve their posture, balance and agility.
Balancing Book Obstacle Course
If you want to really improve balance, try our version of the classic book balancing challenge! You balance a book on your head, but with a twist. Add an obstacle course in your room or apartment and have kids navigate the course, trying to keep the book on their head the entire time.
You can start off simple and then as kids perfect the course, add a few more obstacle to make it even more challenging and fun.
