Experience
I have been a personal trainer,aerobics instructor,nutrition advisor and boot camp instructor for several years,in South Florida.
I generally prefer to train people outdoors in a park setting.The workout outside is just as tough as a gym workout.I can give people a excellent workout using just their bodyweight.I do a bootcamp style class with groups of 5-10 people.

Question
QUESTION: WHAT AGE SHOULD YOU START WEIGHTLIFTING?DOES IT STUNT YOUR GROWTH, AND IF IT DOSENT HOW CAN YOU BE SURE?THNXS

ANSWER: Hi Geraint-thank you for your question.
Of all the studies that I have read about strength training,it is a general consensus that people can start weight training at age 13 and it will not stunt their growth.
 Thanks,

QUESTION: thank you very much.is any kind of workout ok?

Answer
Hi Geraint,
   The kind of workout that you do depends upon your goals,whether or not you have access to a gym or work out at home.
The most important thing to do is to always use proper form,do not lift weights that are too heavy.
Nutrition is also important-more protein and carbohydrates-less sodium and fat-plenty of water.
Let me know if I can be of any more assistance to you.
  Thanks,
      bonnie
