One of the most problematic areas when training children is the abdominal muscles. Although normal exercises for adults are suitable, they may not always be optimal. To get a good result, you need to combine special techniques and elements of the game.
Instructions
Step 1
It is best to train with your child. This is a general principle that will work for all exercises. Have a competition. For example, you might argue that you will do more reps per minute. Of course, it is not always worth winning, give the child the opportunity to enjoy the victory, but you cannot lose unconditionally.
Step 2
Another important principle is that the child should be interested in playing sports. Despite the fact that the exercises on the abdominal muscles are not original, it is necessary to create such conditions so that the boy is eager to start classes. For example, you can tell him that he is a hero who must save the kingdom, but for this he will have to train a lot.
Step 3
First exercise. Have the child lie on their back and lift one leg up at a 90-degree angle. Then he needs to touch the floor from the opposite side (for example, if the leg is right, then you need to touch the floor on the left). After that, the leg must again be raised to its original position and calmly lowered to the floor. Then the technique is repeated mirrored. This exercise allows you to train your oblique abdominal muscles. At the same time, the load is minimal, so that the child can easily cope.
Step 4
Second exercise. It also helps build your oblique abdominal muscles. The child needs to lie on his back and bend his knees. Having slightly raised the body, he needs to reach his foot first from the right side, and then from the left side. This exercise must be repeated 20-30 times. It is very lightweight. Many athletes use it as a warm-up.
Step 5
Third exercise. Coaches all sections of the press. The child needs to hang on the horizontal bar, and then, bending his knees, pull his legs to the chest. This exercise may not work well at first, especially if the boy has not trained before. There is nothing wrong with that, let him do what he can. Help him by lifting his legs. As soon as he starts reaching for his breasts with ease, add twists to the lifts.
Step 6
Fourth exercise. Regular crunches. Have the child lie on their back and bend their knees. Hold them with your hands to create support. Then the boy needs to fold his arms behind his head and, raising his torso, touch his knees with his elbows. As soon as you notice that the child is having difficulty getting up, say "stop" and ask him to lie down for a while.
Step 7
Fifth exercise. In common people it is called a "wheelbarrow". Take the child by the legs so that he rests only on the front hands and walk with him for a while. Children love this exercise as it is fun and fairly simple. At the same time, the abdominal muscles are trained isometrically, which gives a good effect.
