“Easy to do at home” exercise No 11: The Squats
Steps to do it:
1. Let the kids stand with their head facing forward and the chest held up and out.
2. Place their feet shoulder-width apart or slightly wider. Extend their hands straight out in front to help keep the balance.
3. Tell them to sit back and down like sitting into an imaginary chair. Keep their head facing forward as their upper body bends forward a bit. Let their lower back arch slightly as they descend.
4. Lower it down, so their thighs are as parallel to the floor as possible, with their knees over their ankles. Let them press their weight back into their heels.
5. Tell them to keep their body tight, and push through their heels to bring them back to the starting position.
