Children and weight lifting
What is your opinion on children lifting weights? Is 12 years old too young for a structured routine with cardio and resistance training? I know unsupervised or heavy lifting are not options and maybe benching or squatting could impact the growth plate of a bone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You sound like a sensible adult, with commonsense and compassion and an eager child within.
Cut ‘em loose after you show ‘em the ropes, unless any one of them is a wild and crazy monster-child.
