Hi in this video I discuss the benefits of weight lifting or strength training to strengthen muscles and enhance athletic ability for young adults and teens. I also address the concern as to whether using weights will stunt the growth of a young adult or child. I help you understand the function of growth plates in bone development in children and explain how you can benefit from properly using weights and performing strength training exercises and still protect your growth plates. Beginning exercise and strength training at a young age can lead to a life of good health and good fitness habits as long as it is done safely and properly. Please remember tosubscribe because I have so much more to come; something helpful and of interest to everyone. Thanks so much for viewing!

Hi, you should definitely start. Please watch my video carefully so you make sure you exercise responsibly.
Hi, i am twelve years old, and i would like to start strengthening my arms,stomach, and calf muscles. Is it bad to start at this age? I am already into puberty. Do you know any exercises that i could do?

i always find that using weights and using aerobics is best. I find that those who only use aerobics are the “skinny fat” people who are thin but still jiggle and those who use both aerobics and weights are the stronger leaner thin people who stay thin longer and look better in a bikini or dress. great vid! so helpful
Hi! I’m 15 and my mom and I resently started going to the gym. Thank you for the video, it was very helpful!
Hi, that’s correct

that was funny, i was just researching about this topic.
Interesting
So in other words…
Lifting dumbbells and barbells does not stunt growth when used with correct form and sufficient rest?
