It's no mystery that most kids love playing on the computer, watching television and movies and playing video games. So what's the problem? All of these activities are almost entirely sedentary (unless, perhaps, they're playing Wii Fit). Therefore, it's vital for kids to learn the importance unplugging every once in a while, of getting out there and being active! Sports and other athletic activities are great for young girls, especially when it comes to building self-esteem, learning to socialize and make new friends, developing new athletic skills, and living a healthy lifestyle early on.

Make sure she tries on a few different brands and styles to see which is the most comfortable.
Fitness Apparel
Girls fitness apparel is often very similar to sports apparel, minus the accessories (helmets, gloves, racquets, and mouth guards, to name a few). Fitness clothing, like cotton shorts and thiking, biking or even a day at the park with the family. Plus, girls can get a little creative with the colors and patterns of the clothing, which they will undoubtedly enjoy. The key is that athletics and physical activity is fun, and should be viewed as such, rather than as a chore. Encourage your daughter to get out there and have fun!
