How to do exercises correctly?
Parents should choose appropriate parent-child aerobics according to the different physiological characteristics of infants, so as not to have a negative impact on their mental health. With the growth of children, parents can appropriately increase the amount of activities according to the actual situation. Because children's skin is soft and smooth, their endurance is poor, and their heart's load capacity is relatively weak, parents and children should grasp their children's physical fitness when doing parent-child aerobics, and should not be too big. For example, if the child is just sweating a little, his face is slightly rosy, and he has no asthma, it means that the amount of activity at this time is the most appropriate. If this situation is obviously exceeded, it means that excessive exercise of children will have a bad influence on children.
Matters needing attention in doing baby aerobics
1, step by step
At the beginning of aerobic exercise, it is best to start from walking, so that the body and legs can fully adapt, and the exercise time is best about ten minutes, not too long or too short. Some time before walking practice, we should take our children to do some preparatory work, such as warm-up exercise, stretching exercise, especially leg stretching exercise. The warm-up time depends on the weather. If it is cold, it is necessary to appropriately increase the warm-up time and add more clothes to keep warm.
2. Hygiene and health
After aerobics, change your child's wet underwear as soon as possible to avoid catching a cold. If you do aerobic exercise in an air-conditioned room, you'd better do some stretching exercises first, and then scrub and bathe your child.
Step 3: Suitable clothes
When doing aerobics, it is best to wear sweat-absorbent, breathable and close-fitting clothes for children. If children need to wear shoes when doing exercises, they should put on thick mats to reduce the vibration caused by the collision between their feet and the ground; In addition, the shoe body should not be too soft. It is best to choose a half-height cylindrical shoe body to avoid unnecessary harm to the child's ankle.
4. Drink proper clean water before and after training.
Sweating in the process of practicing aerobics will consume a lot of water in the body, so give your child some clean water, such as boiled water and pure water, one to two hours before exercise and during exercise. After the exercise, you should also give your child a planned amount of water instead of waiting for thirst.
