...10 mins of bike riding? My neighbor is 11 going on 12. He loves running and bike riding, and I've heard hes going to run a mile a day, bike riding and wight lifting. Just wondering if this is healthy for his age. Thanks.
Thanks, and remember guys. Hes 11. I dont think it would be good to be eating Acai berrys at his age.
Sorry if I asked wrong, I meant is that healthy enough per day?
 
i was running and biking and doing track like that since i was 10. and im a girl. and i am stronger today for it. that is healthy and right, glad to see a kid isn't a coach potato.
 
Starting this at an early age is actually a very good thing. Many people think lifting weights will stunt growth, but you can never prove that to be 100% true. If anything, tell him to do exercises using his own body weight (pullups, pushups, etc.) until he reaches an older age. Doing cardio at such a young age is great though! It sets a healthy standard of living for their entire life.

We need more kids like this.
