With every exercise routine, it is important to stretch! Teaching your child some quick and simple stretches will help create a good habit to help prevent injuries.
The first set of stretches involves touching your toes. Have your child try to follow along with you.
1) Stand up straight with your feet together and your arms at your side. This is the Start Position.
2) Raise your arms straight above your head.
3) Bend forward at your waist as far as you can comfortably go. Keep your legs straight, but do not lock them.
4) Guide your arms down toward your toes as far as they can comfortably reach.
5) Hold the stretch for 30 seconds.
6) Slowly rise back up to the Start Position.
