Running Towards Positive Body Image

The fall Girls On The Run season is underway! We have 18-20 girls in our group at my assigned school that I am so excited to mentor and get to know! I am so proud to be a part of one of the country's largest self-esteem and fitness education programs. Since 1996 GOTR has helped over 1.4 million girls with developing competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution in their communities--while getting fit at the same time! Research shows that girls as young as 9 or 10 admit to feeling negative about their bodies after watching social media or television, where a lot of the time what we see is an "ideal" body type being promoted that isn't realistic for everyone. That's why it's so important to start self-esteem, self-image, and confidence building education early and that is just what GOTR does. #valYOUable #letstellher
