📣 Bear in mind I’m not a health or fitness professional. I’ve been dancing for many years and I’m using what I’ve learned throughout the years to come up with those exercises but you should always check with a medical professional when in doubt or in pain. These exercises are light and simple so they can be safely undertaken by most children but always consider the child’s own circumstances. They might need to skip some exercises or do less repetitions or have someone check if they’re doing the movements safely.

📋 In this exercise video, we are stretching and cooling down. You can use it every time you work out or do some physical exercise. It’s a great way to end any workout session, not necessarily this one. This series was born during lockdown as a way to get kids to exercise and move at home with limited space. Our main goal is always to help children practice and learn English, so we obviously include relevant word and sentence repetitions throughout the video. Two birds with one stone!

🧠 If your kids are active and enjoy exercising, this is the perfect opportunity to get them interested in practicing English they’ll like and find useful. By listening to workout-related vocabulary and expressions as they work out themselves, children are learning practical and natural English.

This workout series is based on kinesthetic learning and activates physical memory. Children learn by moving their bodies.

If your kids are not into exercising, you can still try this series, it’s pretty light and fun. If they don’t enjoy breaking a sweat, you can find more fun activities on this channel, as shown in the “Other activities and games” section above. It’s not all about physical exercises!

🗣 Vocabulary you’ll hear and use in this video: jump rope, side to side, to switch, to hop, to jog, to stretch, airplane arms, over and back, toes, to put your hands together, to lean, forward/backwards, to sit down, butterfly, legs, to bring your feet together, elbows, to push your legs out, to push your knees down, nose, shoulders, waist, to bend, right/left, to tuck in your leg, back, straight, further down, forehead, high five.
