Workout For Teens:
The reality is that a workout for teens is not that much different that a mens workout or a womans workout. The difference primarily lies in taking precautions not to wreck your body before you finish growing. I wish I had learned and applied the proper precautions when I started training. It would have saved a ton of injuries, slow to no growth and I would have definitely added a few inches to my height. Hindsight is 20/20 for me, but for any teenagers or parents of teenagers reading this, it will do you well to take the following into consideration. Workout Routines for Teenagers: Cautions and Considerations 1. Warmup and Stretch This is one two of the most neglected parts of working out and yet most people still don’t do them. Seriously, it’s only 5-10 minutes of light cardio to warm up your core body temperature and another 5 minutes of stretching. You can spare that, I know you can. You got to think about it this way, either take the time to warmup and stretch for 5-15 minutes or take the time off training when you get injured. When it comes to your workout, there is no “if” you will get injured, there is only a “when” you get injured if you don’t warmup and stretch. Trust me, I’ve been there. Warmup and stretch before every workout and you will reduce your chance of injury to nearly zero. 2. Stay Away From Heavy, Load Bearing Exercises This means, no heavy squats, leg press, deadlift, or overhead press. Why? It’s simple. Heavy, load bearing exercises put a lot of stress and compression on the major growth bones of your body, which can lead to the pre-mature fusing of your growth plates in those bones. Yes, I made this mistake when I was young and lifted really heavy weights with huge squat poundages when I was young. I know I limited my growth by at least a few inches. Both my brothers are over 6 feet, so is my dad, and so are all my uncles. So, at 5’ 8”, unless I’m the milk mans son, heavy training is what limited my height. FYI, my mom assures me that I’m not the milk mans son. : ) The solution is simple too… You can do plenty of other exercises to get in whatever shape you’re looking for without heavy squats, deadlifts, leg press or overhead press. Perform leg extension instead of squats or leg press. Perform chins or cable rows instead of deadlifts. Perform side laterals instead of overhead press.
