weight lifting aging
Is it healthy at age 11 to run a mile, plus 20 mins weight lifting, and then 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?

The running and biking are fine… any cardio is good for a kid, the more the better. The weight lifting, however, will stunt his growth.. you shouldn’t weight lift until your done growing.
