Kids YouTube Workouts: Get the Sillies Out During the Craziness

We are all certainly experiencing something that none of us have experienced before with this rapid lifestyle change due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

A big one of them is having all school-age children at home all day, every day without any social or physical activity that comes along with attending school on a daily basis. There has been a great response with resources in terms of making sure academics are being addressed but it is important to know that it’s essential to address their physical activity as well.

Not only is this a time when it is easy for parents to feel overwhelmed and filled with pent up energy, but our children as well. Physical activity is a very important aspect in a child’s life and ensuring they are not staying sedentary should be a priority. That doesn’t have to mean slamming around weights or making your 6-year-old do burpees. It’s about making workouts FUN and something that they can look forward to.

However, not every parent is also a personal trainer or even knows anything about what is safe or fun for their kiddos when getting that physical activity on! Check out these workouts and channels that can help FOR FREE so that your child can get some blood flowing and create positive energy for everyone involved.
