12 Physical Exercises to be Done with your Kids at Home
Tue 15 06 2021

Working out with your kids is a good way to keep them busy and improve the bond between you. There are many exercises that are safe for both kids and parents. Therefore, we bring you 12 Physical exercises to be done with your kids at home.

1. Mountain climbers

For these exercises, you need to be in a push-up position and then bring your knee to your elbow alternating between the left and the right one. You have the choice to do the same side or crisscross, but make sure you are moving fast and sweating.

2. Bear crawls

Put your palms and your feet flat on the floor, then arch your back in a way that makes you look like a bear. The aim of the workout is to crawl in this position, so to make it more fun, race with your kids across the room making it a fun competition.

3. Star jumps

This is an exercise your kids will enjoy. Stand tall before you explosively jump horizontally in the air, expanding your arms and legs making your whole body look like an X or a star. While jumping scream with your kids “I’m a STAR!” to better motivate them.

4. Push-Ups

While doing the traditional pushup, make sure that your hands are aligned with your pectorals, and that your glutes make your whole body horizontal. To make it harder, clap once you go down then up.

5. Sit-Ups

For this exercise your toes must be tucked under a coffee table or a sofa for extra support, you can also ask your kids to sit under your knees and do the same for them.

6. Burpees

Make this a challenge by starting with a jump up and then a pushup before going back to a standing position and jumping again. Don’t pause between repetitions to make this more beneficial.

7. Squats

Did you that kids are born as natural squatters? Challenge each other by trying to go deeper in a squat, or by seeing who can do the most squats in 60 seconds. All you need to do is stand with both your feet wide as your shoulders and perform deep knee bends. Your knees should always be behind your toes.

8. Leg Raises

To do this, lay on your back or one of your sides and lift your legs keeping them straight on the knee level. If possible, hold at the top for few seconds. This exercise targets your lower abs, so make sure your back is not arched.

9. Lunges

To perform the lunges exercise, you need to step to the front with one foot and bend the front knee to a 90-degree angle. Your back knee should touch the floor with every repetition, without your front knee surpassing your toes. You can walk across the room doing this exercise, and to make it harder, you can carry a small child.
