As kids get older and start to engage in more physical activities, it’s important to keep in mind that not all exercises are appropriate at every age. For example, although an adult may be able to lift heavy weights, that same weight might be too much for a child to handle without risking injury or even death (especially if the child isn’t properly supervised). So what are good exercises for 9 year olds?
1) Soccer
Soccer is a great exercise because it's a non-contact sport and is one of the best ways to stay in shape. Soccer also teaches kids discipline, teamwork, and cooperation. It's important that you start soccer at the age of 6 to 8 years old because the earlier they start playing, the better they will be. One way to improve your soccer skills is by doing drills like dribbling or passing drills.
2) Running
Running is a great way to build stamina, strength, and endurance as well as improve your cardiovascular health. Plus, it's an inexpensive and easy workout that can be done anywhere. Running also helps with coordination, which is important for when you're playing sports or just being active in general.
Here are some tips on how to get started:
1) Find a comfortable and safe place to run that's close by so you can make running a part of your daily routine.
3) Swimming
Swimming is a great form of exercise for 9 year olds because it helps strengthen the muscles in their arms and upper body, as well as their back and stomach. It also helps increase flexibility, endurance and cardiovascular health. Swimming can be a great way to help kids learn how to swim or get better at swimming. Plus, it's one of the few sports where you can play alone or with other people.
4) Basketball

2. Jump Rope - Jumping rope provides excellent cardiovascular exercise, and it also helps with coordination, balance, and rhythm.
3. Soccer (Football) - Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world, which makes it an excellent choice for your child to get some exercise while having fun!
5) Football
Football is a great sport for kids to play, and it's one of the few sports where you can be the same size as your opponent. This makes football a great game that teaches kids how to compete. Playing football also helps kids learn how to work together in teams, which are very important skills when they get older. Football helps strengthen muscles in your arms and legs, while teaching you about discipline and practicing self-control.
6) Tennis
Playing tennis is a great sport for children because it's a very active sport. It's also a good way to introduce kids to the game of tennis and teach them the basics. Tennis is best suited for kids who are between 8-12 years old, but if your child is younger than 8 you can still play with them by holding their racquet while they swing at the ball.
7) Golf
Golf is a great sport to start at nine years old. It's an excellent way to learn the importance of patience and focus, as well as how to keep your composure when faced with adversity. Golf also teaches you how to make smart decisions under pressure which will serve you well in other areas of life. The golf swing helps build muscle memory and hand-eye coordination, while the game itself will teach you about different kinds of shots and strategies. Lastly, it's one of the most relaxing sports around!
8) Martial Arts
Martial arts is a great option because it teaches kids discipline, self-defense and flexibility. There are many types of martial arts, so find the one that will work best with your child's personality and skill level. For example, karate is a good choice for kids who have an aggressive nature. Another excellent choice is tai chi chuan. Tai chi chuan is an ancient form of Chinese boxing that uses slow and gentle moves to increase balance, flexibility, focus and relaxation.
9) Cycling
Cycling is a great exercise to get kids moving. It's easy on the joints and it's a low-impact workout that burns calories. Start by holding the bike with one hand, then let go with the other to make sure they can balance themselves. Once they've mastered that, you can remove both hands. The most important thing is to be patient and give them time to learn how to do things on their own.
