Charging for children to music
Good morning exercises are incredibly useful for the younger body. It has a beneficial effect on metabolism, keeps muscles in shape, helps to strengthen the immune system, and also helps raise the qualities necessary for life in children - dedication and perseverance.
What music is suitable for charging?
Selecting music for classes with a baby up to 3 years old, preference should be given to popular perky songs. It is important that the sounding music was associated with some familiar thematic series. Do not forget to sometimes include small classical works - this is how you diversify the auditory impressions of your little one and introduce him to high art. But the track list for older children should consist of different musical compositions in equal proportions - and well-known children's hits and classical works, different in mood, rhythm and size.
Charges for children 1-3 years
"Do this"
Royal March
"Springs and squats"
"Neapolitan Song"
"Frisky horses"
"Song about a bear"
"We kicked top-top-top"
At this age, charging should be given 5-6 minutes. Exercises are selected as simple as possible, and in the first stages they are not at all like full-fledged exercises. At this age, 3-4 exercises of 1-1.5 minutes each will be enough for a morning warm-up.
It should start with a set of tasks aimed at improving the skills of walking and improving the coordination of movements. Before embarking on such a warm-up, make sure that the baby touches the feet correctly to the floor, does not press the fingers on the legs, does not clubfeed and does not rise on the toes. If all is well, you can start training.
Walking to the music. For all its simplicity, walking to music is actually a very useful exercise. First of all, this is a great start for a person at any age. The benefits of it are great - when it is performed, not only muscles work, but also the joints, and well-chosen musical accompaniment brings a lot of positive emotions, satisfaction, and uplifting. Walking to music improves stamina and excellent coordination. For this exercise, marches are best suited - these compositions have a clear rhythm, and their pace corresponds to the person’s pitch. It is very important to follow the walking technique while driving - the back should be even and the movement should be even.
Sat down, stood up. Now we complicate the exercises - you can add squats to walking around the room - mother and baby sit on the floor, then, on command, get up and stomp on the spot, or walk around the room. After a few steps, do the repetition. Squatting can be replaced with claps or jumps.
Obstacles. On the perimeter of the room are laid out various objects - a kind of obstacles that the child will have to circumvent. It can be cubes, toys, pillow and others. Another exercise option is to go through an obstacle. For example, climb over a pillow, or crawl under a chair. Seat the baby in front of an obstacle, and motivate him to move - on the other hand, put something bright, catching his attention, and he will certainly move in the direction you want. Gradually, the child will understand the principle of the exercise and will do it himself, without additional actions on the part of the mother.
Warm up with the ball. Children love to play with the ball, and warming up with it will give them a lot of positive impressions. There are a lot of options for practicing - you can throw it up, push it with your legs, try to hold it high above you, and if you have a “spiked” ball, you can get a foot and arm massage.
Show the animal. Children love to imitate different animals, and therefore always do it with pleasure. Why not include this exercise in the warm-up? For example, to show a leisurely mother cow with her measured steps, and a small calf frolicking alongside - alternate walking and running, and do not forget about the horns. There are a lot of variants of this game exercise, as well as musical fragments depicting various animals, birds and fish.
Do this. These exercises are essentially song-staging - movements must be done in accordance with the sounding text.

We adjust the child for fruitful occupations
If parents set out to teach their children to high-quality morning exercises, the first thing they need to do is to develop a positive attitude of the child to exercise. It is necessary to motivate him and interest him so that he performs the morning workout with pleasure and excellent mood. You need to start with yourself - regular classes in the morning will attract the attention of the baby, and he will certainly begin to imitate. And if you perform them fun, defiantly and with enthusiasm, the child will definitely be interested. As soon as this happens, turn the exercises into an interesting, fun and joyful joint game.
To begin gymnastics, you can come up with a kind of ritual. He will set up the child for the lesson, and be a signal to start the exercises. It can be a short poem or a favorite song.
What you need to know about charging
If you want to get the most out of your morning classes, do not forget about some of the rules:
- If you decide to do exercises with your baby, then you cannot miss a single day. It is necessary only once to give a "weak spot" and the whole system will collapse.
- Warm up should begin in bed. If the child is awake, ask him to do some simple exercises for the face. For example, puff up your cheeks, blink your eyes, show a funny face. After that, just without getting up, you can do some simple tasks for arms and legs. For example, lift the handles up, make circular movements with brushes, squeeze fingers. Legs enough to raise and lower.
- Before occupying a room, you need to properly ventilate it. So the lesson will bring more benefits.
- Morning exercises should be done on an empty stomach.
- Even if you didn’t manage to work out after waking up, do it in the morning. Just take a few minutes while your baby is in a good mood.
- The duration of the charge depends on the age and health of your child. But, in any case, it should not be more than a quarter of an hour. For children under 3 years old, the optimal time is 5 or 7 minutes, by 4-6 years old - 10-15 minutes, for older children - 15 minutes.
- In all classes, you should follow the same scheme: breathing exercises, walking, then exercises for arms, belts, backs, legs. To complete the need to jump or run on the spot. Constantly it is necessary to monitor the posture, correct exercise and breathing - inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth.
- Every week or two, change the exercises so that they do not seem boring to the child. Gradually complicate them and increase the load.
We are engaged together with the baby!
Of course, all the exercises are best done with the baby. This will help him to feel more confident, to repeat all the movements behind his mother. But most importantly, it is also useful for you! Such a small regular warm-up is extremely important. Think up such movements in which the child will be involved. For example, arrange the real swing crumbs. To do this, take a supine position, bend your legs to the knees, which your baby will sit on. Now slowly lift your legs. In such a simple way, you strengthen your abs, and the child is having fun and “swinging” on the swing. It is useful to squat, holding the baby in her arms, this creates an additional burden and the exercise will be incredibly effective.
Follow our simple recommendations, supplement the morning exercises with your exercises, because only you know what your kid likes, and most importantly, do not forget to do it to the music!
