Just want Stretching?
Stretching is like a big, gentle yawn for your whole body. It helps wake up your muscles so you are ready to run and play. When your body feels sleepy or tight, a good stretch makes it feel awake and happy.
First, stand up tall and reach your hands way up to the sky, like you are trying to touch a cloud. Then, slowly bend over and try to tickle your toes. Now sit down and make your feet touch, like butterfly wings, and gently flap your knees up and down.
Stretching helps your body move easily, so you can jump high and run fast without feeling stiff. It makes your body feel comfortable and ready for a fun day of playing. It's a great way to say good morning to your muscles!
