Kids Program

The goal of the kids program at Sportswest Fit is to help young athletes establish a lifelong habit of healthy and fit living through the teaching of proper mechanics and the reinforcement of efficient movement.

This approach to strength training can help children develop strong muscles and bones, as well as improve their overall physical health. Some potential benefits of stronger children include lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as improved confidence and self-esteem.

However, it is important to emphasize that strength training should be performed safely and under proper supervision in order to be a beneficial addition to a young athlete’s training program.

Strength training involves using resistance to enhance the strength and size of muscles. It can be performed using a variety of tools, such as weights, resistance bands, and body weight exercises. When performed correctly, strength training can offer numerous benefits to young athletes, including improved athletic performance, higher bone density, and a reduced risk of injury.

It is important to note that strength training is not the same as bodybuilding or powerlifting, which are competitive sports that involve lifting heavy weights to increase muscle mass and strength. Instead, strength training for young athletes should prioritize proper form and technique, with the goal of improving overall athletic performance and minimizing the risk of injury.
