Finn ‘helps’ Daddy exercise in the garden, at least once a week. Watching him train with Liam makes me laugh every time, it never gets old!

Resources

  • Medicine ball for Liam, Finn uses a heavy dog toy equivalent

Method

SAFETY: I would recommend wearing proper footwear rather than crocs. As you can see they made Finn a bit unsteady.

Warming up by running on the spot

Twisting with the medicine ball

Star jumps

Push ups

Squats with the medicine ball

NB. We don’t have a children’s medicine ball so Finn is using a dog toy. Use whatever household items are available to you.

Jumping lunges

More press-ups

DfES Early Learning Goals (2017)

Physical development

ELG 04 – Moving and handling:

Children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements. They move confidently in a range of ways, safely negotiating space.

ELG 05 – Health and self-care:

Children know the importance for good health of physical exercise, and a healthy diet, and talk about ways to keep healthy and safe.
