Because of the skeletal immaturity of a 13-year-old, it is not advisable that they train with weights. My recommendation is to play regular sports to develop all-around fitness, plus coordination, and wait until age sixteen (or fifteen at least).

∙ 12y agoToning is best at that age. Just getting your body used to the weight is healthy and keeping fit. Dont begin to try lifting heavy weights until you are about 16 so that you dont get stiff. Heavy weights at a young age can harm the body.

∙ 11y agoCan do…. Until you are doing in a proper way, weight training offers various health benefits at the age of 13.The National Strength and Conditioning Association says that child can participate in weight training around the age of 7 or 8.
The same organization also stresses the importance of "properly designed and supervised" resistance training for children and adolescents. It further acknowledges that there are risks related to resistance training. The message is to avoid excessive resistance, whether by weights or other means and avoid the advice of unqualified people.
