Description
When is it actually safe for kids to start lifting? In this episode, Laura (LT The Cheer PT) breaks down what the research really says — and what she sees every day in cheer, youth sports, and strength training.
You’ll learn why kids can start strength training much earlier than most parents think, what ages are appropriate for different types of training, and how to make sure they’re moving well before loading weight.
