Getting your child active and engaged in fitness doesn’t require buying expensive gym equipment. There are many ways to use common household items to create fun and challenging workout routines. With a little creativity, you can set up an effective at-home gym for your child using things you already have around the house. If they continue down this road of health, there will probably be a time where purchasing workout specific equipment is needed, but trust me, there is so much you can do before that point!

Weight lifting is a great way for children to improve their strength, fitness, and overall health. When done correctly, weight lifting can help children build muscle, improve their bone health, and reduce their risk of injuries. It can also help them improve their performance in sports and other physical activities. Keep in mind, this is geared toward children, so the goal is improvement in physical ability and health through proper form and light weight. The goal at this age is never to get big bulky muscles, which is an unrealistic and unhealthy goal for kids.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the appropriateness of weight lifting for children, at what age they can start, and if there is any truth to the thought of it stunting growth.
