My youngest has always gone to our home gym with me. She would piddle around and “exercise “ with me. She’s inherited my wife’s little pink boxing gloves and hits the heavy bag.
When she turned 9 last year we made a pinky promise that she would work for one year and get 10 real pushups at 10 years old.
I started her off on my safety pins in my power rack. The setting on my bench press ended up being the right height to start. She could do 3 sets of 3. She learned how to count and good form.
She’s been progressing great, moving the pins lower and lower to the ground. Last week, she did 3 reps at the third to lowest setting. Might have been second. She bumped it up to number 5 and ripped out 10 perfect ones.
I can see her ripping 10 out on the ground in 6 months.
She does some light lat pull downs, YTW’s, body weight squats/step ups. Work on the heavy bag and running around the yard.
