Alternate legs going as quickly as you can. Start on your hands and knees and kick your leg out and up at a 90-degree angle. This is the last high-intensity move in the workout. This move helps build core strength and improve posture. Your arms and legs should be hovering a few inches off the ground, using your abdominal muscles to support yourself. Next, you’re going to “hatch” out of your cocoon like a butterfly by spreading your arms and legs out as far and wide as you can. Hug your knees into your chest and roll backward, curling up into a small ball. Start off by sitting on your bottom with your knees up in front of you. Use your forearms to drag yourself forward like a modified army crawl. You shouldn’t be using your legs to support your body weight at all, they’re your long snake tail. The rest of the workout is completed on the ground, but don’t worry that doesn’t make it too easy.įor the snake crawl, prop yourself up on your forearms with your legs resting on the ground straight out behind you. Our body’s proprioceptive input receptors are located in the joints and tendons and are stimulated by pressure, stretching, and tension. This move is great for stimulating the joints in the arms and shoulders which provides proprioceptive input. This is like windmills but with small, tight circles like a hummingbird quickly moving its wings. Then you’re going to move your arms in very small circles. Stretch your arms straight out on either side of you (like a cross). This move is pretty advanced when it comes to motor planning and reciprocal bilateral coordination and may take some practice for your child so don’t worry if it looks uncoordinated, what’s important is that they’re having fun. To get an idea of what this looks like, imagine the lizard runs only you’re standing and adding in the arm movements, like a standing mountain climber. Then, alternate by lowering your arm and knee and lifting the left arm above your head while also lifting the right knee. Raise your right arm above your head while simultaneously raising your left knee to your hips. Standing up straight again with legs slightly hip-width apart, bend your elbows so your hands are beside your shoulders.
