Swork it
Sworkit Kids workouts are always free. A parent will need to help get the child registered after completing their first workout, but even without a Sworkit membership, the Kid Workouts can be accessed at no cost. For older students, we also offer free access to Sworkit through our Sworkit Youth Initiative. A teacher simply needs to complete the form at the end of this blog and we will provide full, free access for the entire school.
Nike Training
Ranging from 13 to 22 minutes, the workouts are appropriate for kids ages 5 and up and incorporate key movement patterns, such as squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling and more. But instead of a traditional squat, kids are training via exercises like leap-frogging to make movement for kids (and parents) seem more like playtime than a chore.
Homecourt
Practice with fun and engaging, interactive workouts powered by advanced patented technologies. It’s less like training and more like a video game.
