It is advisable to do vigorous workout only after the age of 18-20 years.

The body develops and bones become strong in childhood. At this time, children should play and jump naturally. Play games like cricket, football with friends outside the house. Run, jump, climb in the park. All these physical activities are very beneficial for the youth. But it is not right to send children to the gym at the age of 14-15 years. Heavy exercise in the gym can cause injury to children’s muscles. Which is not good for development. The best exercise for everyone at an early age, whether a boy or a girl, is yoga and cycling. Yoga increases the flexibility of the body and reduces mental stress. Cycling will strengthen muscles and increase cardiovascular fitness. Swimming is also a very good option.
