[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weight lifting should not be done before the age of 12 (body weight only) Once kids enter puberty weight lifting is ideal. The muscles they build will have benefits far beyond the teen years. Your friend is incorrect. [/quote] The American Academy of Pediatrics says there is no reason younger children can’t do resistance training, Including weight lifting, and that the benefits of resistance training are well established through research. https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/145/6/e20201011/76942/Resistance-Training-for-Children-and-Adolescents?autologincheck=redirected[/quote]
