Building A Strength Training Routine For Your Child
By: Lynn VanDyke, Sun Oct 30th, 2005

Sally is ready to join the basketball team this year. You
encourage her, tell her to practice everyday, and even join in
on the team's fundraising efforts. As adults we know the
positive health benefits that come with exercise and strength
training. These exact same benefits can be applied to children
as well.
Building a safe and effective weight training routine for Sally
is easier than one may think. The program should include the use
of light free weights, an exercise for each muscle group, and a
proper warm up and cool down. Let's not forget the ultimate goal
of having fun!
Kids love to run and jump all over the place. Encourage that
playfulness while working on strength training programs as well.
Be sure to focus on proper form and technique and not on
physique or bulking up.
Children you have not yet gone through puberty should not even
consider adding lean muscle mass to their bodies. Save that goal
for a later date. Just let your children have fun and experience
strength training in a fun and positive environment.
Check with your doctor before starting any exercise program.
Before you know it, Sally will have better grades, better games,
better self-esteem and a healthier life. Remember you may be
Sally's biggest role model.
