Playing sports, whether at school or just in your neighborhood, is a great way to stay active and get exercise. When girls play a sport, they learn to be part of a team, build self-confidence, and make new buddies, not to mention have a blast. Skateboarding, cycling, swimming, hiking, and jogging or running can also count as sports because you use your muscles.
Not all girls like playing sports. To get exercise, girls can do brisk walking every day; even fifteen or twenty minutes is better than nothing.
