STRENGTH TRAINING for KIDS
From 6yo – 10yo is age-appropriate way for children to build foundational fitness using bodyweight and light resistance. The focus is on learning good movement patterns—squatting, pushing, pulling, hinging, and bracing—rather than lifting heavy weights.
Kids strength training builds not just muscles but confidence, discipline, and lifelong movement skills.
Goal: Build skill, coordination, and general strength—not maximal lifting. Focus on good form and fun.
What it includes
* Warm-up: 5–10 minutes of light cardio
* Technique drills: Learn movement patterns of squat, hinge, push, pull, carry, lunge etc
* Exercises (start bodyweight, then light external load as technique is solid):
* Progression: Increase reps, then sets, then
small weight increments.
* Cool-down: Easy movement + gentle mobility.
