When it comes to kids and exercise, fun is the key! If you can turn physical activity into a game, you’ll build lifelong habits and create positive associations with movement.
My son loves watching Ultimate Beastmaster on Netflix—so we created our own version right in the gym. It’s a simple obstacle course that includes running, crawling, jumping, pushing, and pulling. He gives it his all trying to beat his best time, and most importantly, he loves doing it!
This kind of interval-style training keeps things engaging while building strength, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness.
It doesn’t have to be complicated. Just use the equipment and space you have available, throw in a few fun challenges, and let your child compete against the clock—or better yet, against themselves. You’ll be surprised how hard they’re willing to work when it feels like play.

A neutral-grip Swiss bar is shoulder-friendly, but the setup can get awkward fast. Using a 70-degree incline bench keeps the press strong, controlled, and easier to clear without excessive leaning.
Hanging Garhammer Raise
The hanging Garhammer raise puts the lower abs in the spotlight while reducing the hip-flexor takeover common in many hanging leg-raise variations. Start from the floor if needed, then earn the hanging version.
Radial and Ulnar Flexion
Radial and ulnar flexion are not glamorous, but balanced wrists and forearms need more than curls and extensions. These neglected movement patterns deserve periodic programming.
