Improving the online community to support teenage girls in exercise

A great guest blog from Kate Hill, Founder of FunMeFit www.funmefit.com

There's no point in telling a teenage girl that spending too much time on Facebook and other social media websites is making her unfit, under confident and anxious. She'll either argue with you or march to her room and update her Facebook status telling all her friends what you've just said.

Compared to 40 years ago when girls used to be anxious about 'real' things like death and financial uncertainty, it seems that today's girls are more anxious than ever, "Research suggests that the surge in anxiety among girls today is not a function of household income. Other factors such as new technology appear to be more relevant," says Dr. Leonard Sax, author of "Girls on the Edge."

I have been hard at work over the last month on my new online program. Together with my guinea pigs, Lucy and Carmen, I have been perfecting the 14 day Nutrition and Fitness Plan ready for launch on 31^st May.

We are now ready to go and are looking for participants to take part in the only Nutrition Plan specifically designed for teens.
