I exercise a good bit weight train,run,bike and my son has started to show an interest in exercising. I think it is because he played coach pitch baseball this summer which fueled his competive fire. Problem was that he was just 4 when the season started and we had several kids that were right on the 7 year old age limit so physically he couldn't do what they could(hit in the outfield, run fast). His mother and I nor the coaches expected him to but he sees the difference and doesn,t like it. I believe that he sees exercise as a way to catch up. I'm willing to do anything for him but at such a young age I don't want to hurt him. He is starting soccer now and really wants to play football but that is a few years away in our state. So anyway what can I do with him to help and not harm him?
