Lets dive into the top weight loss exercises and get you the body you deserve!
One of the first criteria should be whether you, as the parent, are driving the discussion or your child is interested. Unless the child is obese, and this is a health issue, I believe the child should be the one driving the discussion and showing the interest. Kids are not miniature adults, they don’t think and reason like adults, and just because you like working out doesn’t mean your 10 yr. old needs or wants the same structure that you as an adult need to stay fit.
2nd, you have to find the right trainer. If the trainer doesn’t have the experience and credentials for working with kids then seek one out who does. Remember they aren’t miniature adults and what works for a mature adult is not appropriate for a child. The trainer should have a firm grasp of the physical developmental/maturation process in kids as well as the psychological/mental approach necessary to engage and teach kids well. Kids don’t process/learn things like adults, they aren’t good at listening to long winded instructions and the training sessions should be interactive and movement oriented not lectures. Bottom line is if the kid isn’t having fun with the training sessions then find another trainer; it shouldn’t be drudgery for the child but something they look forward to doing.
3rd, I firmly believe that training of young kids, especially say under age 14-15, should be movement based training. That is not to say that older kids and adults don’t need this training as well but at the younger ages you are setting the movement pattern engrams (software if you will) that will give them a lifetime of good movement skills. Training does not necessarily mean just weight training but balance training, movement training, body weight and gymnastics type training, and core training. All of this training will lay a good foundation for a lifetime of good movement, fitness and health.
4th, don’t think that training is going to make your child into the next LeBron James or Serena Williams. You should be doing it for the long term benefit of the child. Your goal should be to encourage your child to become a life-long athlete or mover. Unfortunately, because physical education has been greatly curtailed, if not eliminated, in many school districts kids don’t get as much activity nor as much free play as in the past. Training can serve as a supplement to whatever free play and physical education they do get and may in some cases be their only physical activity.
