Any parent wants to see their child healthy, strong and fit. A simple and effective time-tested remedy - daily gymnastics will help to heal the child's body and strengthen his muscular system. Parents who exercise regularly and with pleasure will serve as an excellent role model for the baby.

Instructions
Step 1
Choose the exercises that suit your child's capabilities. It is optimal to start teaching the baby to do gymnastics from about three years old, since children of this age are already able to understand what exactly is required of them, as well as why it is necessary. But the exercises should be simple, otherwise the baby will have to spend a lot of energy to master them, and his interest will fade away. It makes sense for a child attending a kindergarten to do the gymnastics complex used in kindergarten at home.
Step 2
If for some reason it is not possible to carry out physical exercises with the child after morning sleep, you can do it a couple of hours after breakfast or after a nap. Perform evening exercises 1-2 hours before going to bed, no later.
Step 3
If the baby has not previously taken part in the performance of gymnastics and has not seen how it is carried out, it is worth showing him the basic starting positions (standing, lying on his back and stomach, sitting on a bench). Get him interested by telling counting rhymes, imitating the actions of animals, etc. Movement for a child of 3-4 years old is still imitative ("fly like a butterfly", "peck like a bird", "pick apples", etc.).
Step 4
Before you start actively doing the exercises with your baby, they should be learned. Perform each new exercise slowly, verbalizing your actions and drawing the child's attention to the correctness of his movements. When you feel that the tasks have become familiar to the baby, you can supplement the lessons with music and speed up the pace a little.
Step 5
Exercises for preschoolers should target different muscle groups. In this case, charging will not be tedious, since some groups are hands.
Step 6
In different versions, use bouncing ("spring"), throwing the ball from behind the head and from the chest, as well as at the target, impromptu "football", exercises with a gymnastic stick. Over time, complicate normal walking by alternating movement on toes and heels, the outer and inner edges of the feet, with a high rise of straight legs or bent knees. It is useful to walk along a path sewn from a fabric folded in half, stitched across several times. A different filler (peas, cereals, pebbles, etc.) is put into each resulting section of the track.
Step 7
Finish your workout with jogging and walking, then start your hygiene routine. Morning exercises for preschool children do not last longer than 5-10 minutes.
