Simple Gymnastics Move for Home

Here's a great gymnastics move, the macacao, that is easy for children to try at home.

An excellent movement and strength exercise for both children and adults.

You can either watch the video with your child while trying the movement together, or you can master it yourself and then show your child.

Even older infants love copying my movements as I do the macaco — not being able to do the full movement does not bother them in the slightest!

I am always amazed by how many times the smallest of children will try a movement that captivates them, even when they have no hope of mastering it for months to come.

Our role as adults is to provide inspiration and demonstrations of how our bodies can move in space!
