If the children cannot leave the house, due to a quarantine or because your Region is in the red zone, it is necessary to strive to not lose muscle tone and grow in shape. Here are some home gymnastics tips for children.

Home gymnastics for children: ideas for getting around

Movement is essential for children, and for the little ones free play, running, climbing in the gardens are already an excellent sporting practice to grow well and maintain muscle tone.

But what happens if the child ends up in quarantine by order of the ASL or he finds himself in the red zone, with a limited range of action a few meters from home?

It happens that the home environment becomes the whole world of the whole family, including children.

And then here is that home gymnastics for children becomes the new ally for their growth. So here are some useful tips if mom and dad are running out of ideas (and after a year of a pandemic it’s understandable they are):

• YouTube is a valuable resource. Just search for “home gymnastics for children” and a world of videos with exercises dedicated to the little ones opens up. At the beginning you can try different videos, from dancing to walking on the spot, passing through the actual exercises. The important thing is that the little ones enjoy the activity and do not experience it as an imposition (they have been suffering too many for more than a year!).
• Create moments, delimited in time, of free and wild play at home. Jumps, runs or dances with blaring music. Moments of movement that also act as an anti-stress for everyone, perhaps at central times of the day, in short, not early in the morning, early afternoon or after dinner, so as not to make the neighbors angry.
• Play some movement games , like the famous Twister for example, to have fun all together and train the muscles of young and old.
