Strength Training For KidsTerrell Owens Trains High School Football Players With His Home Gym SystemFirst off, strength training is not body building, power lifting, or weight lifting, although all of the above will increase strength. The point is, strength training is not about bulking up and becoming the next governor of California. Strength training is any technique that uses resistance against the body’s own muscles to increase muscular strength. More often than not, this is accomplished by lifting weights. However, resistance tubes (or bands) offer a more practical alternative to weights because they are cheaper, compact and portable, and the user can workout the entire body without having to go to a gym. In addition, the angles and positions that are possible with resistance tubes simply can’t be replicated with weights or weight machines. Perfect For Physically Active Kids  If a kid is old enough to follow instructions for using proper exercising form and technique, he/she can benefit from strength training. Kids involved in activities like gymnastics, baseball, soccer, football, basketball, ballet, dancing, figure skating, running, cheerleading, or even martial arts will see an increase in their strength and endurance after a few short weeks of strength training. Obviously, it will give them a competitive edge, but also put them on a path to better fitness and health.
Resistance tubes are perfect for young growing bodies because they are available in an assortment of tensions. As a child’s muscles adapt, more resistance can be added simply by selecting the next higher tension tube or by combining tubes. Strength Training For Kids Will: - Increase their muscle strength and endurance
- Help protect their muscles and joints from injury
- Improve their performance in nearly any sport or physical activity
- Strengthen young bones
- Help promote healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels
- Boost metabolism
- Help them maintain a healthy weight
- Improve self-esteem
- Help with diabetes through improved insulin sensitivity and blood glucose control
To get the most out of strength training the muscles must be allowed to rest at least one full day between specific muscle group workouts. That’s not to say kids can’t workout every day, they just shouldn’t exercise the same muscle group day after day. Two or three strength training sessions a week for a targeted group of muscles are plenty. Feel The Burn The burn that’s felt with resistance training is the muscle being stressed to fatigue. The muscles actually get tiny microscopic tears that must be allowed to heal. Without that stress, nothing is accomplished. As the muscles heal, they become stronger and adapt to the resistance. To go beyond that plateau, repetitions can be increased and/or more resistance added. Eventually, the muscles can lift more and workout longer and the child becomes…governor of the State of California. Just kidding. Resistance tubes are very affordable and make the perfect birthday or holiday gift for active kids on your list. They would also make a great donation gift to local schools and sports programs. Resistance Tubes For The Family Having a set of resistance tubes at home benefits the entire family and all their individual varying schedules. Dad can workout before he showers for work in the morning. Mom can workout after the kids leave for school. The kids and their friends can workout after school. It’s a great way to keep them corralled and in a safe environment. Just a one-time small purchase with no monthly fees and no trips to an expensive gym can give years of fitness and good health.
