Strength Training For Kids??

Absolutely!!!!!

Done properly, strength training is indeed beneficial for your young one, whether they are an athlete or not.  Strength training can put your child on a lifetime path to better health and fitness!

Strength training for kids is about light resistance and controlled movements…with emphasis on proper technique and safety.  Your child can do many exercises with his or her own body weight, resistance tubing and light weights (emphasis on light). 

The benefits of strength training for your child is to increase muscle strength and endurance, help protect your child’s muscles and joints from injury, improve your child’s performance in nearly any sport, improve your child’s self-esteem and help your child maintain a healthy weight.

Strength training can become a valuable part of an overall fitness plan – as long as the child is mature enough to follow directions and practice proper technique and form.  I also recommend you check with your child’s doctor for the OK to begin a strength training program. 

To Your Health,
