[quote=Anonymous]I just don't see the rec teams are offering a very good option for fitness or fun.  I wish it were different, but it's sort of not.

A lot of girls go to the gym to work out and use the treadmill or elliptical. We belong to the Y as family members so it's not that expensive.

Karate is also a great way for teen girls to stay in shape -- it's very cardio intensive, they really work on flexibility, you can usually pick which days you go and times, and its a life-long sport that is easy to continue in college and beyond.

My son likes to bike, but for some reason my daughters don't get that into it.  But it's a good way to stay in shape.

I sort of wish there were more fun dance/aerobic type classes aimed at teens.  I did a lot of that when I was a teenager and in college and it was really fun.  It seems like all the dance classes are more for girls who are good at dance, and not just for kids that want to goof off and get some exercise.  Places should run "just for fun" dance classes using stuff like Taylor Swift, Chappelle Roan, Gracie Abrams, etc.   A decade or so ago  "Just Dance" was really popular among teens and that was great exercise -- unfortunately, it seems like it has fallen out of favor.
