Most children (what's the point, most – all) love to run, jump and play active games.
However, these activities cannot replace morning exercises.
It has several advantages: the exercises are performed on a regular basis and train all muscle groups, and over time, when they start to work out well, the child begins to feel self-confident and receives motivation, which stimulates him to new achievements.
When to start doing exercises
It's never too early to incorporate exercise into your daily routine, as they say.
Children aged 3 to 5 years can devote 5-7 minutes a day to this activity. By the age of six, this time should be increased to 10-15 minutes.
What time to do exercises
Contrary to popular belief, you can do exercises not only in the morning, but also in the middle of the day: a little warm-up will be beneficial after drawing, reading or other activities that require prolonged sitting.
How to do exercises
Classic exercises are not interesting for children: if you want to introduce them to exercises, come up with a general fairy tale plot for it or a separate story for each exercise.
For example, invite your little one to turn into a bear that collects pine cones and do bends with him, or into a bunny that hides under a bush and do squats.
Older preschoolers are interested in the result: they want to learn how to jump rope 10 times without stopping or throw a ball accurately into a basketball hoop, so your task is to encourage even small successes and praise the child.
