I had added a bunch of apps last year but I haven't added many since then. Swork it Kids is a great app for kids that don't really know what they should be doing at home in terms of strength, agility, balance and flexibility. You can set it to a timer for anywhere from 5-60 minutes so you can use it as a warm up or as a work out in itself. Each exercise is shown on a video for 30 seconds while you copy the movement, and then it will switch to a new exercise. You can pause it anywhere in the workout to go and get a drink or you can skip the exercise if you don't feel comfortable doing it. You can also create your own workouts with the library of exercises that are included in the app. This app also allows you to enter your current weight and it will calculate about how many calories you should have burned while completing the workout. You can also set reminders at a certain time of day to remind you to workout, and you can get it to remind you when you haven't worked out for more than 2 days. This might just be the motivation you need to get going more often.
If parents or teens wanted to give this a go or just for some variation, there is a little more challenging app called Swork It. This has a few more moves, and some moves that might not be suitable for younger kids with weaker muscle structure and skeletal system.
The only downside to these videos is there is no instruction on whether or not some of the moves are being done correctly so just beware of certain things like:
keeping your heels on the ground while squatting
trying to keep your knees from pointing inwards (valgus) while squatting
probably hold off on the one legged squats until you are very comfortable squatting with two legs.
try to keep the back as straight as possible while squatting
when jumping try to land softly on the ground
there are a few others but you should be fairly safe with those.
