[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I think he’s going to need to want it himself at that age (and a lot will decide they do). I’d casually mention that doing some lifting this summer might be a good way to fill his time and mention if he wanted to do that you’d pay for a trainer or weight set/peloton subscription. I also like the idea of inviting him to go with you (or his dad) to a trainer or class. I mention peloton because some kids are going to be self conscious and reluctant to go to the gym or work with a trainer. Peloton has a bunch of weight training classes you can do on demand and sequential programs for beginners that give pointers on form, etc. There’s also some device you can buy that tracks progress and evaluates form (I haven’t actually used that so don’t know how good it is). With a weight set and tv in the basement he could do a lot.[/quote]
