Should Kids Do CrossFit

Hey everyone!

Ready for a hot topic all parents ask themselves, That question was rhetorical! This one isn’t though…

“Should my kid lift weights? What about doing CrossFit?”

It’s a serious questions that holds a lot of weight.

We want our children to have the best lives possible. We pass down knowledge and shortcuts so they can get a leg up and have an even better life than we have had.

As an adult who weight lifts 5-6x per week, I see immense value in exercise and learning how to move heavy loads. But, at what age should my son learn how to lift? If I do it to soon, will I permanently injure him?

Another good question to ask is, “what if I don’t teach my child how to move properly?”

Get the answers to these questions and more as we dive into the topic of CrossFit and Kids from the perspective of a health professional (Nikki, EMT and Nurse) and a CrossFit Kids Certified Coach (Kidd)!

And remember, at the end of the day it is always up to you the parent to decide what is best for your little ones. Your choices for your child should be respected and heard.
