A member asked:
What age is recommended for a child to start doing weight training with dumbells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No recommendation: There is no recommended age. A child can start weight training when and if they are interested in doing so, and so long as they are properly instructed in how to properly lift; safety first! as a general rule for prepubertal kids, they should stick with lighter weights and avoid max. Weights.
