Answer 2

Zero.

At age 8 there is a lot of physical, motor and neural development going on. Any time spent on a treadmill is much better spent out in the physical world. This will engage a broader range of muscles, require more balance, and allow you to better engage with the sweet planet we inhabit.

Answer 3

It is perfectly fine for a 13 year old to use a treadmill. They should exercise as long as they normally would with other sports, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Answer 4

You shouldn't have to. Just stay active with friends and sports or hobbies and you'll be fine!

Answer 5

If they're careful and supervised while doing so, sure, I guess so.
