Daily yoga practices shouldn’t be limited to the parents. With Super Stretch, your kids can take virtual yoga classes, too. The app features interactive stories, games, partner dynamics, animal sounds, and laughter to encourage kids to stretch. Your little ones can learn about body awareness, communication, concentration, breathing, noncompetitive movement, and self-esteem while promoting muscle strength and flexibility.

Team up with your children to take on short, high-intensity interval training sessions with the 7-Minute Workout For Kids app. According to the app’s website, HIIT-style workouts can be just as beneficial as longer workouts without the time commitment.
