6 Virtual Gym Class Ideas for Kids with ADHD

Health experts from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that children get at least 60 minutes of exercise daily. How your child gets that exercise — dancing, swimming, bike riding, playing soccer, playing catch with a ball in the yard — doesn’t really matter.

There is also evidence that spending time outside in nature can calm some kids with ADHD. Even bundling up and playing in the snow or going for a winter hike counts as good exercise. However, between the cold winter months and busy schedules, getting outside to play isn’t always easy.

Below are six online workouts that allow your child to let out some pent-up energy. Bonus: some of them may feature your child’s favorite characters!

1. Minecraft Yoga with Cosmic Kids

2. The Very Hungry Caterpillar with Cosmic Kids

3. Mario Gym Class with Sweat Kids

4. Indoor Workout: Exercise in the Jungle

5. PopSugar Family Fitness Cardio

6. Frozen Dance with Sam Cam’s Dance Studio
