Go Outside!
Make time to go
outside whenever you can.
Even though indoor exercise
is possible, there is more
room outdoors and it is more
fun for the children.
Even if you have a swing set in your backyard, that will
always give them
something to do outside.

On the other hand…Be Safe!
Make sure that your child doesn’t over do it. They need to listen to their body and if they are getting too tired they
should not be pushing themselves too hard at this age.
It also makes it less fun for them if they are struggling with what they are
doing.
