Learn to Lift Kids

When it comes to sports for children you often think of soccer, hockey, or tennis. All good and fun, but there is one sport that stands out when it comes to their development: strength training!

Studies show that with proper guidance, strength training can have long-term benefits for kids. Not just in their youth, but for the rest of their lives. It helps to grow a strong body and an even stronger confidence.

Strength training can also reduce the risk of chronic conditions and diseases. It supports kids to develop good posture - something that will be important as they grow older. Especially in a society where sitting is ‘the norm’.

Many adults today struggle with posture and basic movement issues that could have been prevented if they had started strength training earlier. Fortunately, you're never too young to start lifting weights.

Most kids have the natural ability to move perfectly already. The goal is to build on that by focussing on mastering basic exercises like squats and deadlifts. And making sure kids are performing them safely. In a fun and encouraging way.

Learn to Lift Kids is accessible for everyone. Each kid trains on his own level. So why not let them give it a try? Register now and join the HPC Leiden Family!
