It’s an absolute honor to announce that I have been selected as one of just a handful of Movemeant Foundation Ambassadors, where together, we’ll be combatting a host of social issues that plague girls today – everything from rising rates of physical inactivity to an unrealistic standard of beauty. As this issue is near and dear to my heart and own personal experience; I am so excited to join forces with this amazing organization to show girls how to love their bodies by empowering them through health and fitness!
Some of the hard facts:
Negative body image and physical inactivity have grown to near epidemic proportions in the past 20 years. As many as 60% of women in national studies report that they don’t like the way their bodies look. And there’s been a dramatic 32% increase in no reported physical activity among young women ages 18 – 39.
- 31% of high school girls say they would undergo surgery because they feel insecure about how they look
- Less than 3 in 10 high school students get 60 minutes of daily physical exercise
- 44% of teens indicated that they regularly skip meals as a tactic for controlling their weight
- 65% of teenage girls admit they are afraid of gaining weight
These facts are somewhat startling but there is hope through organizations like Movemeant Foundation that help change the way & create a brighter outlook for girls and women!
Stay tuned on some great events that I will be hosting in order to raise awareness and help change the way girls look and think about their bodies!
If you want more information and would like to get involved in my events please email me, I would absolutely love to collaborate!
