Personal Training Workouts for Children — Revisited by Personal Trainer Dave Hansey
Ok, I had a few comments — mostly from the Cheerleading and Gymnastics coaches about my views on Sports Specific Personal Training for Kids
DOING GYMNASTICS OR CHEERLEADING IS NOT — I REPEAT NOT – SPORTS SPECIFIC TRAINING
It is — like all other sports — THE ACTUAL SPORT
So what I am talking about is ADDITIONAL TRAINING — personal training using weights to enhance the sport — that is the definition of sports specific training.
And yes, sorry — but children under 12 RARELY get a benefit from it.
Enough Said — Hope that clears it up for those who thought that actually doing the sport is sports specific training – it isn’t.
And while visiting the topic of coaches — I encourage EVERYONE with a child in organized sports to ask the coaches for their certifications. Check their credentials — they have your kids in their hands!
