What is the best age to start working out.?
Hi there:
I have a child and I wonder what is the best age for introduce him at workout like me.
I began at 20, because this was my oportunity, but I think that is a little bit late to get it started.
On web I found this, but you people are the best to give your opinion.
The best age to start working out and is common for kids to start would be the pre-teen years such as ages 10 to 12 to 14 ect. The development of the body is at its prime at these years and it will aid you when working out in your later years because your body will be adjusted to it from when you were younger. but DO NOT over do it because you could seriously damage yourself in many ways that if your a kid would probably last longer than injuring yourself when your older.
I'm all eyes to read your recommendations.

Well well! look at what we have going on here!!......... the OP and both his foreign speaking buddies below ALL share the same email addy????...... ALL 3 accounts made at the same time and he likes to talk to himself by the looks of things lol...... just imagine the karma abuse and promo freebie abuse this guy could cause if allowed to roam free!......... ok here we go "BIG SHIRLEY" takes ALL 3 of them out in one fell swoop.... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Really? Maybe he has multiple personality disorder and likes to answer his own questions....lol
tryton50When he knew what he want to be.
Don't push him to get training, it will be useless.
Enjoy if he want, and understand if he does not.
Be a partner of his decisions.
That's my recommendations.
zzeup2My child is 14 and just get started.
Child coming more stronger and taller than before....
I'm no expert but my son is 7 yrs and have him doing pushups now he already can do a 100 pushups don't have him hitting weights yet but soon guess its in his genes lol I think the young get them in the habit of healthy eating and regular exercise.
AnonI started at about 14
id say teens is pretty much prime time for slow introduction to strength training and weights i see way to many youngsters trying to 1rm every week and know they will all be injured most likely as a result... i think having a coach or trainer to keep them in line is an absolute must or a knowledgeable parent even better. I wish i would have started earlier and with more guidance myself... but hindsight is always 20/20 unless your like rain main ra-tard lol. variety of sports growing up definitely helps and helped me with basic coordination and flexibility for the major lifts:) if i ever have son or daughter that likes sports i will show them how to train and be safe to excel at their chosen sport and introduce them to weights when the time is right for them as an individual.
This is a photo of me when I first started working out. Some people say I hit the tren too early but I say they're just jealous haters, so what if I'm 3ft tall and haven't hit puberty properly yet, I'm diced brah
Lmfao!! Jacked a.f. !! You should change your name to Andrew dice clay, because this kid if fuckin diced brah. Lol
RustyhookerI started daily hard workouts at 13. Before that i kept to high reps 20+ , pushups, pullups. Lower impact stuff. I'm not sure if it holds any truth at all but in highschool when growing pains hit, i lifted harder. I grew well during those times but got no taller. 5-4 . My sons started lifting at 12 doing power movements with a special trainer but had been in year round sports since 5-6. My old professors, trainers pushed to hold off youngsters til highschool. My oldest currently has ass to grass squat record in his school at 5-10 & 165. My youngest jerk n cleans 140 for reps at 5-6 & 130.
Main issue IMO for youth is same as adults just starting. Ligaments! Muscle grows faster of course so to avoid injury yet still grow, avoid 1 rep max, begin first few months with reps above 12. Food...food...food! Teens grow at accelerated rate and muscle programs need nutrient dense foods. Teens that get a lil chub have better recovery than adults so jogging, etc will cut it easy.
ottoitsmeWould not confuse caring with ban.
I want to take care of my son without preventing the practice of this wonderful sport.
Thank you very much for your words.
Hard work to be father, isn´t it.?
RustyhookerNon stop worry and teaching. But at events, graduations etc it's all worth it!
Great advice as well rusty, ligament health is very important
