[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks everyone this is very helpful, and very kind of you of pulling for him. Got the appt with his ped next month so should be in time for the updated program.

Anyone know a good nutritionist or dietitian in NoVa or DC? Will ask his Dr for some names too.

And [b]yes he got a gym membership a couple of months ago and goes almost everyday when he doesn't have soccer[/b].[/quote]

Thats great.  Did you also get him a few sessions with a trainer?

I'm a gym rat.  And I've seen so many people come into the gym with the best intentions but not have a plan.  And they just kind of go from one machine to the next without a plan.  Then, after a few months, they get discouraged bc they don't really see any results.

So I would make sure he's following a solid 4 day a week, total body weight lifting program.

I wouldn't even worry about cardio.  At all.  Especially if he's playing soccer.  Tell him to not even go near the treadmills.

But 3-4 days a week.  total body.  No need yet to do splits.  And he'll see AMAZING results at his age[/quote]
