The sudden lockdown has kids feeling restless and confined. In such a situation, trying to keep them active, engaged, and fit is a strenuous task. We, at Cityogini, came up with some points that could help make this task easier.
Setting an example
Kids are like clay, molding according to the environment they are placed in; Create a routine for yourself and try adhering to it. Once kids see you doing something, they would want to follow your footsteps.
Getting creative with exercises
The best way to keep kids interested in these activities is to get a little creative, opt for sports kids would enjoy, create a hurdle based running game in your living room, go for a walk, have them ride a bike, or just roller skate. We have also linked a video below to help you get some ideas.

Staying consistent
According to research, kids between the age of 6 to 17 need at least 60 minutes of moderate activity every day. Therefore, staying consistent with your routine is of utmost importance.
Listen to them
It is okay if kids don't feel like working out every day. Make sure they feel free telling you when they are feeling low or confused. Aside from helping them during the lockdown, this will also ensure good mental health in the long run.
Our lives, before the virus, was hectic and did not leave much time for us to spare. So, in the end, trying taking a positive spin on your thoughts. Look at this time as an opportunity to build a strong relationship with your kids.
