Too young ?

Hi there i'm a newcomer here I'm very enthusiastic about training ... but my concern is that am I too young for most of the stuff I do ? I am 15 years old I practice karate do regular pushups, situps, Lift weights day on / day off and go jogging whenever I get the chance which is maybe once a week... I feel great but will there be any bad repercussions on the long run ?

I would say the "too young" line for weightlifting is probably like 13 and lower. Now if the weightlifting you're doing is bodybuilding, yeah there could be long term repercussions.; ▶ Reply to This
