is 11 a good age to start yoga?

Question

if an 11 year old is 20 pounds overweight is yoga a good way to make them elegant fit and boost confidence?

Answer 1

the only fat burning exercise is cardio - to see results you have to do it 4-6 times a week for average of 45min
but remember that healthy diet (5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones, lots of fruit and veggies, protein etc) is 80% of weight loss.
you can start exercising at any age - plus i think the earlier you develop muscles the easier it will be for you to gain them/maintain later in life (at least for me it is)

Answer 2

As could and should are two different things, it depends because many girls are put up way too soon in poor recreational schools. That makes the average age not always the best age. My kudos to Rose for an excellent answer! She has my thumbs up and If this goes to a vote she has my vote for best answer too. * While 12 is the earliest, schools like the School of American Ballet don't put their dancers up until age 13.

Answer 3

Yes!! Yoga is great to start at any age and good for you for wanting to be healthy for your age!! It will make you more flexible, leaner and confident!!

♥Hope this helps!!♥

Answer 4

Yoga is good for anybody.

I started when I was 9 and saw results quickly. Now I am 16 and am underweight (you don't want to be like me). You will see results fairly soon as long as you eat well as well.

Answer 5

yeah, anything is good at a young age, learning how to play an instrument, exercising, etc... as long it isn't an addiction to some bad habit.

Answer 6

Yah yoga is good for anyone!

Answer 7

Any age is a good age.
