The Swing and Squat

Here is a fun work out to do with your child at the playground, while you push them on the swing. It's called the "Swing and Squat"!


Stand behind the child with legs shoulder width apart and toes pointed forward. With elbows tucked in, push your child on the swing with both arms evenly. Take a step back and squat. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the ground, keeping your knees behind your toes. Stand upright, and step forward with opposite leg to push the child on the swing again. Repeat this movement, making sure to alternate legs when stepping backwards and forward.
