Jump, climb, sprint: 3 days a week
What it is
Within the daily hour of movement, make 3 days vigorous with muscle- and bone-loading play: jumping, climbing, gymnastics, sprints.
Always on
- Playground counts: monkey bars, climbing frames, hopscotch, tag.
- Supervised light strength work is safe from ~7–8 — technique, never maximal lifts.
- At 15 this hands over to real strength training (see the teen item).
