Teen Girls and Physical Fitness: Studies show that girls turn away from sports and fitness once they reach the teen years. So how do we keep our daughters as interested in keeping fit as our sons? It’s important to teach our teen girls that fitness is a lifestyle choice, and that keeping fit is a life-long endeavor. Studies show that girls are less likely to remain physically active once they reach adolescence because of lack of interest in fitness during the teen years. Girls need to be in a social, team-driven, fun environment.
We can help our teens remain physically active by role modeling and by seeing that our schools provide fitness programs that reflect the interests of girls. Physical activity helps teen girls cope with stress, prevents disease and provides fun and socialization.
