At what age can kids start working out?
409207
kids can lift at any age,, just not to heavy in the younger years so not to stunt or affect their bone growth,, just what ever is comfy,, but lifting in the younger years, under 13 won't do much because their muscles are growing everyday so the added use doesn't do much,, at around 13 or 14 is when the muscles start accepting added stimuli and are able to take on the extra use for growth,, i would advise against pushing younger kids into weights until their body is ready ,, just keep them physically active until they are in the early teens as to keep the body fat down and their meatbolism high,, that is one problem with kids now a days,, to much time in front of the tv playing games,, leads to obesity

As the mother of a 17 yr old - yes you can work out at a Gym.  However..... Be sure that you go to a gym where they have trained employees to show you how to use the equipment and put you on a workout regimine that is appropriate for you.  The best way to work your abs is on a ball.  You will be less likely to hurt yourself strengthening all of the muscles including those on the side of your stomach and your lower back.  Don't do this alone. Get help the first few times until you are comfortable.  Walking will also work the muscles in your abdomin and is good for cardio.  Eat healthy and stay away from fried food!

It's fine for exercise and to stay fit.  Not for body building.  Build your body after it's finished growing on it's own.  Exercise is good, but at 14, your body has enough to do to build muscles and tissue and bone where it's needed and you want to encourage, not distract it from where it will go naturally.\n\nKeep in shape and keep your body clean and healthy ... after you've stopped growing taller (at like 18 or so), then you'll be in great shape to pack on the muscles if you wish.  Trying to do it now will NOT help you ... you'll stunt your growth and end up looking very odd ... trust me, you'll want to look your best later in life, NOT now.

most classes are for ages 4-10 but you could look for adult classes in your area. it gets a lot harder when you get older and out of shape. most professionals stop around the age of 25

At our local school, they start as young as 4.\nI've seen much older (adults) start as well.

Boxing isn't all kids, but it would definitely help for some. I wouldn't start a kid out that's under eight years of age, but amateur boxing would:\n\n- help improve concentration\n- give the kid more confidence\n- work the kid out some, so he wouldn't be overactive later and would sleep better\n\nIf the kid has a trainer that focuses on the more skilled aspects of boxing, and teaches it as more of an art or science than as a contest of brute force, it could help the child develop analytical abilities.\n\nA lot of people are worried about children getting hurt, but it's actually very rare. The headgear and the large gloves that amateur fighters wear do a lot to protect them. Of course, your child should not be sparring until well trained in the basics of boxing and probably shouldn't enter any kind of competition for a year after starting out.

you can start with working on fitness almost untill you drop dead \nwhat you will be able to do changes and gets less\nto be a champion ,kids already start at 8 or 9\nthat is when the body is the most flexible ,and to be exelent you progress from there ,\nso yes 14 maybe to late for winning prizes ,but it is never to late to get fit

I don't think it is a physical age thing, but more of a maturity level. But, if they are mature enough, I would say 12/13 years old.

Depending on your age, you will see many growth spurts until you are around 18-20 years of age. Just be patient! It's all a part of growing up!

For my students, I instruct them to do workout for from 2-6 times a week, and at least 3 total hours a week but not more than 6 hours unless they reach advanced level. For beginners, once a week for 30 min for 1 month. 2nd stage, 2-3 times a week for total hours of 1.5 for 1 month. If you can keep that up after 2 months, then increase frequency and duration to your needs.

you will continue to grow until about age 18 - 20.

No way! Working out with weights will not stunt your growth. Being 5'2" at 15 is no big deal...Most males shoot up between 14 and 18...No need to worry! Keep lifting...it will help you from packing on unwanted pounds around your middle when you do hit your growth spurt!

you know what?you're too little to start having diets of all sorts...your body needs to develop now more than anytime else so let it work normally ...you should start worrying at 18.Till then just have fun with the kids of your age ,do a lot of sports and eat healthy food...get rid of fast food and all the snack stuff!Be wise!

Robert ~\n              Every child progresses at their own pace, some faster than others. I had my first fight at 8 years old and things progressed rather rapidly for me. The "Norm" is 3 two minute rounds for Junior fighters in accordance with the rules set forth by USA Boxing the amateur governing body in America and International competitions including the Olympics.\n\n              There are two common mistakes that happen with young kids in the gym 1) Being overprotective like dressing the kid from head to toe with pads and calling the sparring session if one of them gets caught with a good shot. The kid wants to seem as normal as anyone else in the gym, try not to single him/her out that can be embarrassing for a kid of any age.\n\n             2) Thinking the kid can take a lot more than he/she can, don't over do it. Remember they're kids and sometimes get lazy and need to be pushed, but in the same breath they're kids so if they do get tired or can't do something properly cut them some slack. After being around a kid for a awhile you should be able to tell the difference between the two.\n\n           Good luck, I hope this helped a little.
