Therefore, even the baby's warm-up exercises, parents will check the whole process, hoping to find the best set of warm-up exercises for their children. So, what are the warm-up exercises for children? Are you not clear about them? I will introduce them to you!

Children's warm-up exercises refer to children imitating animals, means of transportation, etc., allowing children to use their imagination and express themselves freely. Moreover, these pictographic movements are familiar to children or easy to imitate. Common movements are as follows:

Xiaobai avoids jumping: raise both hands to the ears, and jump with both feet.

Crocodile crawl: Lie on the ground with your belly close to the ground, bend your hands flat in front of you, and use your forearms to support the ground while crawling forward alternately.

The way a little crab walks: squat on the ground with both feet, bend your elbows and raise your hands to the sides, and walk sideways with your palms in a scissors shape.

Singing and dancing: Singing and dancing is a nursery rhyme combined with simple movements that can be used as a warm-up exercise.

Popular songs: When choosing popular songs, pay attention to the content of the lyrics, choose songs suitable for children, and match the melody of the song with movements, which is commonly known as leading singing.

Physical fitness equipment: Physical fitness equipment is used in the current course. Children can use the equipment individually or in pairs, and perform warm-up exercises in conjunction with the children's body movements. However, this type of warm-up exercise is subject to more restrictions because it requires the use of more equipment, and the size and weight of the equipment must not be a burden to children. Generally, the most commonly used ones are space sticks, small cloth balls, mini ropes, hula hoops, and balls.

Music band: Use the rhythm of music to lead the children to do warm-up exercises. Music is the soul of the entire warm-up, and music with obvious and light rhythm should be selected. The teacher's guidance must be in baby language and the movements must be simple, and it is best to use movements that the children are familiar with. Generally speaking, the instructor will directly perform movements to the melody of the music and let the children imitate. The instructor needs to pay attention to the head, neck, hands, chest, waist, lower limbs, as well as jumping and balance. As long as every joint can be moved in an orderly manner, it will be a good warm-up exercise.

Children's gymnastics: Children's gymnastics can best demonstrate children's activity. It is the most commonly used warm-up exercise in kindergartens and nurseries. Its biggest feature is that the content of the teaching materials is selected by the editor, and the design is carefully arranged according to his or her ideas, into movements and stories suitable for children, and then accompanied by suitable music. Combining movements, stories and music into one can create gymnastics for children. Its characteristics are that it targets children, is story-guided, has cute and playful movements, and has music with distinct paragraphs. Therefore, it is very popular among children, such as Children's Happy Movement, Penguin Gymnastics, etc.

From the above we can understand that the methods of warm-up exercises are not the same, and the instructor can make some changes according to the different teaching materials, but there is one thing in common, which is that they are all aimed at young children and use simple movements that are suitable for children. Warm-up exercises are often a kind of game in the field of children, so it is easy to get them involved in it.

All of the above are overall warm-up exercises. When children are playing games, sometimes some joints are used at a higher frequency and with greater strength. Therefore, strengthen some of the flexibility exercises to increase the degree of warm-up. For example: When children play the cart game, their wrists need greater support, so they must do more warm-up on their wrist joints to avoid injuries due to insufficient warm-up.

Children's warm-up exercises

As we all know, warm-up exercises are preparatory movements before all activities, because warm-up exercises can move the limbs, lubricate the joints, promote circulation, and relax the muscles, so as to stimulate physiological functions and adapt to future major activities to avoid injuries. As for children's activities, their physiological development is not as complete as that of adults, so warm-up activities are more important.

This is the end of the introduction to warm-up exercises for young children. The above methods are all very good for the growth of young children. So, I suggest you try it. As for young children, parents should pay more attention to their lives and not let anything go wrong at a very young age.
