Here is a teen workout appropriate for people ages 10-17. Contrary to myths you might have heard, working out IS good for teens and it wont stunt growth. This is a 45min upper body workout you will do 2-3 times a week. There are seven exercises to workout pecs, lats, triceps, biceps and abs. These exercises are self spotting which means you can do them safely alone. You will perform all these exercises in the order shown, then repeat the whole thing two more times so that you end up doing three sets of every exercise.
chest: pushups, flys, dumbbell press
lats: pullups, rows
abs: crunches
biceps: curls
triceps: french press
For each exercise we want to do between 8 and 15 reps. First, we are always going to lift slowly, 2s up and 2s down [demo with count]. If you can do more than 15 of these slow reps then its too easy for you and you need use more weight. If you cant do 8 slow reps then you are using too much weight and you are likely to get injured.
