Kids Leg Workout (5 Minutes, No Equipment! KIDS 4+)
Kids Leg Workout (5 Minutes, No Equipment! KIDS 4+)
If you want to build leg strength for kids active play: Running, Jumping and Balance, we have made this 5 Minute Kids Workout to get started!
I have picked THREE of my favourite leg exercises:
1. Side to Side Hops: This is a great exercise for building speed and quick reactions, we are bringing our legs together from one side to the next, this helps improve our balance as we are having to land and quickly adjust our body position and bounce back to the other side.
2. Mountain Climbers: Are great for our CORE and LEGS. We are taking a big step across our body (also great for crossing our midline), we work on our hip and ankle mobility/flexibility as we have to reach through with our foot.
3. Single Leg Balance to Land: Here we are working on SINGLE leg balance and generating power. So much of our running and play we need to be able to push with a single leg, this activity helps to learn how to control our single leg balance and then generate this power and strength for speed and coordination. Start with 2 foot landing and progress to a single leg if you can!
