Your child may be ready for fitness lessons if they enjoy physical activities, have basic coordination, and show an interest in sports or exercise. A willingness to engage in structured physical activities and follow instructions is also a good indicator.
Look for instructors with certifications from recognized fitness organizations, experience in teaching children, and knowledge of child development and exercise safety. A background in physical education or sports science is also beneficial.
Encourage your child to participate in sports, go for regular walks or runs, follow online workout videos, or join a local youth sports team. Outdoor activities like hiking or cycling can also promote fitness.
Children as young as 4 or 5 years old can start with basic fitness activities focusing on fun and coordination. More structured fitness programs can begin around age 7 or 8.
