Squat and Reach

Fitness for Kids

The Squat & Reach on an exercise ball can be a healthy and effective exercise. This exercise primarily targets the muscles in the shoulders, upper back, legs and core. Here are some potential benefits, the exercise ball is like a stretch for your shoulders, making them more flexible. Balancing on the ball makes your tummy muscles super strong. Doing the overhead reach helps your back muscles get strong, so you can stand up straight. It’s like practicing movements you do every day, so you become really good at them. Using the ball makes you good at balancing! Just remember to have fun, go slow, and ask a grown-up for help if you need it!
