Regular, daily physical activity is so important for children and adults! The benefits are numerous, to many to cover here, especially during times of increased stress. Be it indoors or outside. I have been doing my planks each morning and going on walks around Montpelier, where I live, in the evenings. (Side note: the city is so surreal. Very quiet, almost desolate. People avoiding each other, crossing the street, changing directions, etc.)
If you are looking for exercises to do with your child, check out the YouTube channel from the PE teacher at Moretown and Waitsfield, Ally Bataille (linked below). She is planning on posting videos regularly. You can subscribe and her new videos will magically appear in your inbox!
Lastly, keep in mind that physical does not have to look like an exercise routine. Anything that get your body moving is important. I even count vacuuming!
