The main thing is that the gymnastics for the kids should not exceed 10-15 minutes, and the exercises were simple and varied, so that the children were not bored.

Why do children need morning exercises?

Little children can not yet move in a coordinated way. Their motor skills are only being formed. Therefore, adults should give the child such exercises that will help strengthen the body and help develop coordination of movements. What is the difference between exercises and ordinary manual labor?

• Gymnastics develops those muscle groups that you have planned. You can focus on the development of a certain group of muscles.
• Gymnastics allows you to adjust the load in accordance with the health of the child and his interests in the exercises. For example, the same groupmates can be trained by charging with verses, gymnastics without the use of objects and with their application. Therefore, you can choose the appropriate group of exercises.

Before you begin to temper the child and teach him to the morning gymnastics, you need to take into account that some children have morning gymnastics is contraindicated. These are children who have a weak cardiovascular system, disorders in the functioning of the musculoskeletal system and general weakness, the causes of which are not established.

If a child performs morning exercises, he:

• Activates all body systems, including water-salt metabolism, energy metabolism, filling of blood with oxygen and nutrients
• The child strengthens all the muscles, which contributes to its better development and growth
• The child forms the correct posture, and this is a very important step, since the skeleton of a child is formed before the age of 13.
• The fact that the child performs rhythmic exercises, gives him the ability to properly adjust the breath. It is for the best work of the respiratory system that morning exercises for a child of 2-3 years should be conducted outdoors or in a well-ventilated room.

It is very important for children 2-3 years to keep to an average pace during the performance of morning exercises. The pace of exercise should increase and slow down gradually - you can not stop the exercise immediately. To finish the exercises you need this: first - running, then - fast walking, then - slow walking and finally you can gradually stop. Therefore, do not perform breathing exercises after running and fast walking - it will be a load on the heart and blood vessels, which is undesirable for a small child.
