How To Improve

Speed and agility

Children should be exposed to a variety of movement patterns, which include arm and leg movements performed from a stationary position, jumping moves and exercise that promote spatial awareness.

Exercises that involve running through a maze of cones, moving in figure eight patterns and jumping and landing in a controlled manner are also suitable.


Balance Yoga is a popular way to build balance, Exercises to improve balance are:

Standing on One Foot:

Standing on one foot is a basic balancing skill, but not every kid will be able to master it immediately. Start by having him first stand one foot while keeping the other on a stool. As he improves, replace the stool with a ball. Be sure to do this with both legs.


Play Hopscotch:

Hopscotch is a classic activity, and for good reason. It's great for developing balance. For an extra challenge and to get even more out of this game, play it without switching feet. By working on balance, your child will learn to use their muscles properly in order to adjust to changes in movement. This will set them up for success in playing games and sports with their peers


Upper Body strength

Kids in primary age group can usually do strength-training activities (such as pushups and sit-ups) as long as they show some interest, can perform the exercises safely, and follow instructions. These exercises can help kids build a sense of balance, control, and awareness of their bodies.

Specific exercises should be learned without resistance. When proper technique is mastered, small amounts of resistance (body weight, band, or weight) can be added. In general as kids get older and stronger, they can gradually increase the amount of resistance they use.
