Hopping like a rabbit or walking on all fours like a bear -
that's not only fun for children, but also helps them develop strength naturally
and playfully - and all that at home!
Do you know the feeling that movements that you made without
thinking as a child are difficult or even painful for you today? Jumping,
pulling, pushing, turning, rolling, keeping your balance, kneeling, hanging -
all movements that children make every day without any problems.
Functional training is training in which muscles are built
up without equipment, only with your body weight. Typical exercises are
pushups, pull-ups, squats, situps, and so on
To avoid chronic movement difficulties in old age, children
must exercise regularly from an early age. An effective full-body workout that
improves your mobility, flexibility, and endurance and at the same time
strengthens your entire body is the most sensible solution. Regular training
with self-weight exercises during childhood lays the foundation for
symptom-free future movements.
We will introduce you to some exercises that imitate animal
movements and teach your children to functional movement sequences in a playful
way. You can do this together at home right now to pass the time sensibly!
