No no gym is not a good option. It will be better if you played with your kid out door activity like running, basket ball, badminton, cricket. 45 min exercise will give you better result. You would find out increasing weight.

Hye, Yes. Gym dies not just mean pumping heavy weights. If instructed right, there are many workouts that can be done to strengthen muscles and improve stamina. Although most gymnasiums have an age limit. Just take care to see that your son starts gradually, follows the right technique and does not rush into heavy workouts in the start itself as it can cause injuries as well as affect growth.
