Kinder Gymnastics

“We are all aware of the benefits of exercise and even more so to start from a young age and keep our bodies active through life. A critical developmental age for children is between 3-5 years when their bodies are heightened physically and emotionally, as they prepare for school. To aid this developmental process, Kindergym can help immensely. Exercising in a fun and controlled environment allows muscles to grow, building a strong body for life. Kindegym uniquely challenges muscle development due to the diversity of the schedule and promotes the philosophy that exercise is fun. When you consider that the heart is a muscle too, you’re giving your child the gift of life. During an average Kindergym workout, the increased demands on the body and muscle system mean blood is pumped more efficiently. This improves the sense of well-being, promotes happiness, increases confidence, boosts mood and concentration at school and reduces the risk of illness. The young body is growing at such an extensive rate at this age and it is an ideal time to develop good postural habits to support the muscles during growth. This is also the perfect opportunity for your child to develop a strong core, which is the foundation of the body and essential for good movement. Parents have often remarked how this fun and dynamic class has had so many more benefits, as listed above, than building a strong body alone. Overall the advantages of Kindergym far outweigh the time spent on devices at home and by giving your kids a chance to shine during their early childhood development, you are setting them up to maintain good skills for life. Strong body, strong mind. “
