Exercise is needed to improve the health of both adults and children. The child’s body is in greater need of health measures, since the immune system is still imperfect, and therefore the infection can quickly overcome the child. You need to start with morning workouts, thanks to which positive qualities are raised in children: perseverance, responsibility, independence.
Gymnastics rules for children
Constant exercise, such as morning exercises for children , builds up willpower and
develops musculoskeletal system. In order for
morning gymnastics to be effective, the same rules should be observed, which are simple in nature, but require regularity.
The first rule - children's exercises should be performed at a certain time, daily, except for those days when the child is sick.
The second rule - gymnastics should be done before breakfast, that is, on an empty stomach. Before class, you must go to the toilet, and rinse your mouth with water.
The third rule - children's exercises are carried out in a well-ventilated area (in the warm season - outdoors). So the child will receive, in addition to physical activity, also a “portion” of hardening.
The fourth rule - all exercises must be performed exactly. This must be monitored, since the correct execution determines the normal development of the musculoskeletal system.
The fifth rule is not to hold your breath. It is necessary to teach the child to breathe through the nose in full force. If you experience unpleasant sensations, you need to consult a pediatrician for contraindications.
Sixth - in terms of complexity, children's exercise should correspond to individual physical development.
Seventh - to perform a set of morning exercises, preferably to the music.
Eighth - gymnastics is carried out with a good mood and pleasure.
That's all the highlights. Adults should not rigidly “force” a child to perform exercises: musical children's exercise is more like a cheerful dance or game. And at the same time, children need to clarify that gymnastics will be of great benefit to the body.
Exercises
Any exercise for children begins with the adoption of the starting position - standing, lying, sitting. Then follows a set of exercises:
- leaning forward;
- walking;
- circular movements of the body;
- raising the torso from a prone position;
- Squats (a complicated version - squat with bouncing when standing up);
- swinging legs;
- flexion and extension of the arms in the elbow from a prone position;
- raising hands up, after which they should be lowered with a simultaneous tilt forward and half squat;
- running on the spot.
The complex should end with a calm walk with in-depth breathing and relaxing half-inclines.
Fun exercises
Children's exercise "Radiant Sun" is suitable for both toddlers in kindergarten and for older children. This is gymnastics to a special song, which describes each movement when performing one or another exercise, for example:
“Jumping, jumping everything in the world, even hares and bears.
And giraffes and elephants jump straight to the moon. ”
The song was created in the form of a dialogue with children and will certainly cheer up others.
