How to do it
-
Stand up, start moving, and invite the young people to join in.
-
Start with a simple movement: roll your shoulders 10 times in all directions. Count aloud.
-
Raise your heart rate: do 20 knee lifts on the spot, alternating legs.
-
Next: stretch your arms upward and bend your upper body to the side, 5 times in each direction.
-
Finish by winding down: do 5 calm breathing cycles, inhale and raise your arms, exhale and lower them.
-
Adapt the movements as needed to suit the group. You can also let the young people come up with their own movements and lead the session.
A short exercise session helps regulate energy levels, relax, strengthen the connection between body and mind, and create a pleasant break in the day. A surprising start lowers the threshold for participation and makes it easier for young people to get moving.
