very summer parents face the same dilemma, what do I do with my kids? Children need to be stimulated for a healthy mind and a healthy body. During school, children are involved in many activities and some kind of sport.
This year we have faced something new, The COVID-19 pandemic which has flung a wrench into the natural cycle of school, home, work and has forced children to be home a lot sooner than many have anticipated. So how do you keep them from becoming couch potatoes? Simple, let kids be kids with aerobics exercises; some of which they were already doing without you realizing.
Quite simply, aerobic exercises are any activity that encourages an increased heart rate and gets the blood pumping to build a sweat. Some parents may be wondering; how do I do that during COVID? Well, there are things to do based on your space at home or in your yard such as creating an obstacle course for your child to do and challenge them to first do the course then how fast can they do the course. You can also switch it up with doing the course in reverse, on one leg or even while reciting their ABC’s, 123’s or their multiplication table.
