The #1 exercise for children’s strength training
By Elliott | October 2, 2008
Yesterdays video of the Chinese gymnasts seemed to strike a nerve with a lot of people.
I wanted to show you how I believe children under the age of 7 years old should be training.
Watch this geat video of Jack’s (one of my Strength Camp members) 5 year old daughter training with us at Strength Camp.
Also, my mother always says “Children LIVE WHAT THEY SEE!” - if you are fat, sad, sick, tired and lazy… guess what kind of kids you’re gonna have!!!
I encourage all of the fathers that attend Strength Camp to BRING THEIR KIDS to watch what their daddys are doing.
I know that this has a greater impact then simply telling them “go out and exercsie” or the vague “what don’t you just eat somthing healthy?”
When these guys bring their children to see them sweat and break their a*s in the name of good health, their children are 100X more likely to LIVE WHAT THEY SEE.
Enjoy:
Many of you had concerns about how you should be training your young kids, here is my answer.
1. if they are older than 16 and play football or baseball check out my ==> Football Strength System
2. if they are younger than 12 or just getting stared with sports check out ==> The IYCA
OH, and I almost for got… the #1 exercise for childrens strength training is - LAUGHTER! (trains the core ;))

Nothing personal Elliot, have loved all your videos so far, but this one is my favorite! Not just because of the training, but being a single father myself and involved in fitness, you don’t see or hear enough about the care and dedication we have as dads caring for our children. And your right laughter is the best!!!! Stay strong my friend and keep risin to the top!

I tried to get my kid involved, but he doesn’t like liver, or squats.

Thanks, Elliot. This is the perfect antidote to yesterday’s video.
