Sports activities captivated the teenager. In a video on his Instagram, he is shaking a heavy barbell from his chest. Cruz did not write anything about the weight, but subscribers suggested that each of the four pancakes on her weighs 10 kilograms, plus the bar itself.
But instead of the expected admiration, the younger Beckham received criticism. “You’re too young to train,” wrote Cruise’s followers. “It is dangerous and can lead to injury”, “Your body is still growing, excessive stress must be avoided.” And some condemn Victoria Beckham, Cruise’s mother, for allowing her son to train like this and not worrying about his health.
Woman`s Day found out from a fitness trainer whether such loads are really contraindicated for adolescents, or whether Beckham Jr.’s subscribers are worried in vain.
– In a 12-year-old teenager, the skeletal system is still being formed, – said Christina Rubtsova, master trainer, active athlete of the Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness. – Therefore, maximum weights and powerful strength training can harm health and even bring down hormones. I would recommend small and strictly dosed strength loads at this age. Better to focus on exercises for coordination, dexterity, functional training.
