Our gym only lets the kids use cardio equipment at 10 or swim. Way too early for weights

| I grew up as a competitive swimmer. At my club, we started dryland training around 10/11 but we were restricted to running, pushups/situps/etc. We were expressly told no weights until 14 because it was not good for younger bodies. If a child is interested in working out there are so many options for strength building that do not include weights. See if you can find an experienced, respectable trainer (not a new hotshot who spent a few hours doing an online course) who might able to provide you with some ideas. |
