Start your kids off young learning proper strength training, cardiovascular training, stretching, healthy nutrition and proper rest and recovery!

Workouts & Exercise shouldn’t hurt you!
No athlete, from Pro/Elite to Youth/Children, should ever be hurting before stepping onto a field, court, or up to a race start line.

If your Trainer, Coach, or online plan has you doing squats daily, abs daily, push-ups daily, planks daily, curls daily, or any of the same workouts or exercises every day without rest then find a new Trainer, Coach, or plan! Muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and…
