At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.

Lee Haney was interested in physical fitness and bodybuilding from a very early age. He built a bench press and squat rack at home and when that wasn't enough, he went to the local gym for his workouts. He met his first coach, Danny Rogers when he was still a teenager. Under his guidance, Lee worked on properly building his physique and won the Mr. America Teen tournament in 1979.
In 1982, Lee Haney won the world championship for Amateur bodybuilders and earned a Pro card. He preferred to work on narrowly targeted muscle groups and followed a very strict diet and workout regimen. For Haney, this was more than just another sport. 1983 was a memorable year for Lee with him bagging a number of Grand Prix titles. He participated in the Mr. Olympia event but placed third.
Not satisfied with a third-place ranking, Lee worked even harder and won the title the following year. He would go on to repeat the show for the next seven years. With eight consecutive Olympia titles, he broke Arnold Schwarzenegger's record. Today, he shares this record with Ronnie Coleman. While he held the title, Lee found himself on the cover of over 20 bodybuilding magazines.
Along with his own training, Lee also helped other sportsmen train. An exercise called the Haney deadlift is credited to him. This exercise strengthens the posterior deltoid muscle. He worked with football players to improve their endurance as well as athletes. He worked on training the well-known boxer, Evander Holyfield. Many refer to him as the 'Trainer of Champions'.
