Great Way For Your Daughter To Get Fit This Summer!

Posted on July 22, 2011 by admin

Dancing can be a great self-esteem builder for girls…and you all know how passionately I feel about helping them feel confident and healthy. I’m encouraging all girls between the ages of 9 and 18 to enter the Best Bones Forever! Let’s Dance Contest featuring Savvy. This is a contest for every girl regardless of her dancing abilities. It’s about having fun and getting active with friends!

I was so psyched when I was asked to be the newest ambassador of Best Bones Forever!, a national bone health campaign of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health. We’re teaming up to encourage girls everywhere to “grow strong together, stay strong forever” by getting plenty of foods with calcium and vitamin D and 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Check out the Best Bones Forever! website for yummy bone healthy recipes and fun activities.

One of my favorite (and girls’ favorite also) bone-building activities is dancing. Dancing works the whole body, so encourage all the girls you know to participate in the Best Bones Forever! Let’s Dance Contest! The contest invites girls ages 9-18 to grab their friends, choose one of the five Savvy songs, choreograph a dance routine, record their routine and then upload the video to the contest website all for a chance to win a trip to appear in a Savvy music video! This is also an activity moms can do with their daughters! Burn some calories and give your bones a boost by helping your daughter and her friends choreograph their dance routine.

Good luck!!
