Fitness Programs for Women
Women played sports 50 years ago, but nowhere near the level they do today. Not only are girls more active than they used to be, but they are just as active as boys. This change is significant, because it teaches girls how to remain physically fit throughout their lives. As women age, remaining fit and active can allow them to remain in great shape through their 80s. Fitness programs can help prevent many physical and mental health conditions, such as obesity, osteoporosis, certain cancers, stress and depression.
