Welcome to our fun and exciting warm-up exercises! These activities will help you get ready for playing badminton and keep you fit and strong. Let’s get started!
First, let’s do some running on the spot with high knees. Here’s how you do it: stand still and pretend you’re running, but don’t move forward. Lift your knees up high, like you’re trying to touch them to your chest. Stretch your arms out in front of you for balance. Let’s do this 20 times together. Ready? Go! Count with me: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Great job!
Next, we’re going to do squats. Imagine there’s an invisible chair behind you. Stand with your feet as wide as your shoulders and point your toes forward. You can put your hands on your hips or stretch them out for balance. Pretend to sit down on the invisible chair and then stand back up. Let’s do 10 squats together. Ready? Here we go: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Keep going! 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Awesome work!
Now, let’s try star jumps. Start with your legs apart and arms by your sides. Jump up and spread your legs wide while lifting your arms above your head, like you’re making a star shape. Then bring your arms and legs back together. Let’s do this 10 times: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. If you want a challenge, try doing the star jump in one big motion. Ready? Let’s do 10 more: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Jump high! 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Fantastic!
Our last exercise is the tuck jump. Stand with your feet apart and use your arms to help you jump high. As you jump, try to bring your knees up to your chest. Let’s do this 10 times. Ready? Jump as high as you can: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Well done!

Exercise Detective: Go on a mini-adventure around your home or backyard. Look for places where you can practice each of the exercises you learned. Can you find a spot for high knees running, squats, star jumps, and tuck jumps? Once you find your spots, try doing each exercise there. Think about how the different surfaces or spaces might change how you do the exercise. Do you jump higher on grass or on a hard floor? Share your findings with a friend or family member.
Exercise Story Time: Imagine you are a superhero who needs to do these exercises to gain special powers. Create a short story or comic strip about your superhero adventures. How do high knees running, squats, star jumps, and tuck jumps help you on your mission? Draw pictures or write a few sentences about each exercise and how it helps you save the day. Share your story with your class or family.
Exercise Challenge Chart: Make a chart to track how many of each exercise you can do in one minute. Try this challenge every day for a week. Write down your scores and see if you can improve by the end of the week. Ask a friend or family member to join you and compare your progress. Discuss what you think helped you improve and what was the most fun part of the challenge.

The next warm-up exercise we’re going to do is running on the spot with high knees. So what you’re going to do is put your arms out and run on the spot, trying to lift your knees as high as possible. We’re going to do 20 repetitions. Ready? Let’s go: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
Our next warm-up exercise is squats. Imagine there’s a chair behind you, and you’re about to sit down. Make sure your feet are shoulder-width apart and your toes are facing forward. You can put your hands on your hips or extend them out for balance. Pretend that chair is behind you, and we’re going to do 10 squats. Ready? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. You can keep your hands out for balance if you want. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
The first way to do star jumps is by having your legs shoulder-width apart, lifting your arms up, and jumping out with your legs. The second step is bringing your arms back down by your sides and bringing your legs in. We can do this 10 times: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
If that seems a little too easy, you can do the star jump in one go. Instead of separating the movements, do everything in one motion. Let’s do 10 of these: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Try to jump up really high. 8, 9, 10. Do the star jumps at your own pace, but I challenge you to try to do them all in one go, as it’s a bit harder and will strengthen your legs faster.
The next conditioning exercise for your legs is called the tuck jump. We jump up as high as we can while lifting our knees towards our chest. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and use your arms to help you jump higher. Lift your arms up as you bend your knees, and when you jump, lift your knees up to your chest. We will do this 10 times, aiming to jump as high as you can each time. Ready? Let’s go! Remember to swing your arms: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Now it’s over to you. Let’s get practicing! If you liked this video, you can find it and many more at clickview.net. Sign up for free today!
