When my kids were babies, I gave each of them a small stuffed doll full of sandbags, a tiny 500g dumbbell, and some small weighted balls (also filled with sand).

From a distance, they looked like normal kids’ toys—but they were about 3x heavier. They just played with them like normal.

I used to let them grab my fingers, then lift them as high as I could until their grip started slipping—then I’d let them back down. Now they can do the same thing and hang upside down for a couple minutes.

They’re getting more into rubber swords, shields, wrestling, and sword fighting with each other. My older one sometimes joins me for structured lifts—he does a solid deadlift, doesn’t love squats, but enjoys overhead presses and planking. Most of his intense exercise comes from kickboxing.

They mostly eat meat—beef—plus milk, sourdough bread, bananas, and apples (several a day). I once calculated it and they eat about twice the amount recommended for their weight. But they don’t get fat—they just have tons of energy.

They also have a daily drink with charcoal and zeolite, plus another with mineral drops.
