Stretching is also a physical activity and has many benefits for kids, such as improving posture, flexibility, range of motion and protecting joints, which reduces the risk of injuries.
Warm-up exercises, or active stretching, are indicated to precede heavier exercises, as they work as a way of preparing the muscles and the body for the main activity. Stretching is also good for mental and emotional well-being of kids. This routine consists of single-muscle stretches that slowly change to compound-muscle flexibility exercises, which target all the muscles in kids' little bodies!!
Let's get the kids and start this new workout! 💪
