5. Smart and fit girls find a problem: there is little resources to help young girls solve problems of self-esteem and body image. In addition, girls rarely have the opportunity to exercise.

Of course, there are also some sports, but the competition in these sports is getting fiercer and fiercer, so that girls are laid off from the seventh grade basketball team. & "If we try to build a lifelong habit of loving sports, then the pay cut in seventh grade is not a useful way," Chard said.

So chard and Walters launched smart-fit girls in Collinsburg, Colorado, in 2013. Both fall and spring semesters offer 10-week after-school courses. Girls gather for two hours a week, half for sports (mainly resistance training), and the other half for bullying, Photoshop and healthy eating. There is also a one-week intensive summer camp.

&chard said: "Strength training is a very powerful sport. It's only about what your body can do and how strong you can be, not what you look like." & We need to help girls feel that they can take up space and have their own power both inside and outside. & quot;

and it is effective. One girl said, "All summer, I look at myself in the mirror and wonder why I have to do this? 39; But when I come to a smart girl, I can look in the mirror now, just like, & 39; I'm beautiful. & 39;

At present, there are intelligent fitness girls websites in South Carolina, Colorado, Alaska and Wyoming, but they also re-recruit high school girls to create leadership committees suitable for their communities. & Chard said that different groups of girls face different challenges in terms of body image and the way the media handles them is different.
