PROGRAMS FOR KIDS Most importantly, whatever you do with your kids, keep it fun! This will play a major role in enjoyment, desire to participate, and overall motivation. As a child develops, starting at 6 years old, we encourage three days of moderate-to-vigorous activity for 60 minutes at least three days a week. Activities should focus on body weight exercises that increase balance and stability. When performing moves, the focus should be on execution - slow and controlled. We want to build a stable foundation for heavier lifting down the road.
