Do you think 13 is too young to be working out?!
Question: My friend works out.
Answers: My friend works out.
I think it's a good idea as long as you aren't compulsive about it to the point of taking steroids and worried constanly about how well you are improving and it's affecting how you act around people in a negative way. Your body is starting to grow and it may be wise to not try to max out all the time, putting a bunch of heavy weights on. Ask your doctor. You should try to get alot of cardio-vascular in. I think that would best serve you now. Not because of less weight, but your lungs as they are growing should be maximized by aerobic, that will get your lungs as full of air as they can be. Lance Armstrong's key to success is in his phenomenal lung power. Your lungs will stop growing soon and you want to maximise that, by taking them out for a spin. They get some exercise lifting weights, but nothing like running or any sport that gets your heart beating and your lungs working hard. Your biceps and stuff can easily catch-up later say like 16 or 17 when you can start taking weight lifting more serriously. In the meantime don't overdo it on the weights and focus on exercises that work out the heart and lungs to their max. Also think about exercises that strenghten the hands. I think exercising them will make them grow more. Just sitting in front of the TV they don't get any exercise. Unless you live on a farm your hands probably get very little strength attention. Ah, I just read you're a girl. Swimming is the most awesome exercise for girls and women. Swimming puts the most beautiful physique on women and it is beautifully suited to their build as compared to weigth lifting. Still do the aerobic exercise though!!
yes!
no way!
Never to Young to workout =)
i think it stunts ur growth, by the way to clarify i mean that to work out to the extent to becoming super hench hat stunts your growth but just workin out normaly then no its fine.
I'm not an expert, but I think it is never too early to start good habits.
No No, Not at all, just dont take exercising supplements till your at least 15, because your body might not be able to handle it.
But ya you can work out now, good luck!
Nah, I do to. As long as you don't overdo it it will be alright.
No of course not any age is ok to work out for instance im 11 and i work out
Nope, being healthy and fit is good.
exercise is great, weather its swimming, dancing, running or going to the gym, it improves the self image, self confidence and health.
HA NO that when u should start but don't go overboard
not at all it's healthy!
hell nah I started at 11
Don't use steroids ever.
Kind of, it is a bit young to work out, and it can be a bit bad for you, it may even stunt your growth as well. Anyhow, if he doesn't do it too often, then yeah, unless he's doing cardio, cardio is fine
Oh yeah, this is from someone who knows what they're talking about and has learned about working out
no way anyone who says that is a weak wussy
please mark as best answer
Yes. Just struggle to be normal. A regular kid and study hard.
you should do exercise but not serious working out with weights and things
definatly not i started working out when i was 13 working out is the best thing u can do for yourself!
no. i mean, it's probably too young to be lifting, but doing cardio is good, as well as some light anaerobic stuff.
no not really unless hes like really strong like huge muscles and its freakin ya out lol but i run laps and stuff but not liek bench press
ummm depends on what kind of "working out" i think heavy free weights and benching is prolly too much.i know of younger kids getting great benefits from those resistance bands and exercises like that.
Depends if you are fat or not
yes it is.
No, I work out and I'm 13...
It's a good habit to start out when you're young.
no.
as long as they are not over doing it.
well if you want to be fit i would say no but i would make sure it is ok with your parents and ask your doctor. Do not over exert your self and before trying to go to a gym or use machines, try running around the block and doing sit ups at home and swimmimg when it is warm andjump roping. See if you can hadle it.
never u should start too, so u get some girls and guns
NO WAY ITS GOOD AND HEALTHY
no u need to stay inshape just be careful
You can never be too young to work out. Working out can be any sport so technically many people 13 years+ or below do workouts. As long as your not on a diet u'll be fine.
