This goes for any athlete of any age.  Exercise or activity is important to everyone.  The author of Children and Sports Training Jozef Drabik stated, “Everyone should participate in some type of exercise, including children of all ages.”  According to Drabik, “Exercise is essential to health, fitness, and happiness.  But to get these benefits one has to do it, and childhood is the time to get into the exercise habit”.   In addition, he recommends exercises for strength training, “First are the obstacle courses, climbing, half-hangs, and rope pulling.  Second is climbing, vertical supports (as in standing push-ups), and hangs.  Then next is an exercise involving overcoming one’s bodyweight, exercises with an additional load (medicine balls).”  The list goes on, but the main reason why kids need to start training is so they get into a healthy habit and decrease injury prevention for their specific sport. 

              We see the reason to start strength training, even if it’s at an early age.  It is important to be smart with your training.  Anyone can read a magazine and start beginning to lift weights or train, but it takes someone who is intelligent to ask the real questions.  What is the importance of this exercise or what am I doing this for?   Questions like this will open up the minds of many.  Big Time Results can help you understand what kind of goals is important, and how we can get you there.  We create a game plan to benefit the athlete.  We see what is needed and what we have to work with.  Strength training is the key to make it to the next level.  The trainers at Big Time believe in creating goals and plan of action goals to determine our training success.  Contact us here at Big Time Results to start your Training Sessions.
