Girls 10-16 are taking a step in the right direction and signing up for the President’s Fitness Challenge through www.4girls.gov. This is important, since girls’ rates of physical activity participation consistently lack behind boys. President’s Challenge is an online series of fitness programs designed to help improve anyone’s fitness level. Girls can join along with other girls in the group and log in their fitness activities. 4Girls.gov was developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health to give girls reliable, useful information about important health issues such asfitness and nutrition. 4Girls.gov hopes to encourage young girls to take an active role in their physical fitness by promoting healthy, positive behaviors in girls.
