No. I would probably advise him to wait a couple of years and begin it when he is 15. It is nothing related to growth or something, just that when kids are 15, they are a bit more mature than what they are at 12. They know what safety is and they are grown up enough to take care of themselves to a certain extent.

If the 12 year girl is over wheight then yes she should.But in my perspective most 12 year old girls don't stop growing till the age around 13 so most of the things the girl eats goes to her height.But that still dos'nt mean she should'nt work out.

Small weights. Anything large can really hurt the joints of a child whose bones and joints have not fully fused.
