THE RIGHT MOVES: A GIRL'S GUIDE TO GETTING FIT AND FEELING GOOD
Schwager, Tina
1998 13450 From the Publisher The benefits of good nutrition and regular exercise can last a lifetime. This upbeat guide encourages girls to realize their full potential by developing a healthy self-image, eating right, and becoming physically fit. Filled with quizzes, quotes, and up-to-date facts, fun activities, and common sense advice. Illustrations. From The Critics Children's Literature The dedication states that this book is written for "each and every girl who has ever felt uncertain about who she is or where she's going." Media specialists often encounter girls from fourth to eighth grade seeking information to help them deal with low self-esteem and self-confidence. Titles abound for the professional working with this age group, but very little of worth has been published for use by the young female reader who is experiencing these physical and emotional changes. This book is written to inform and to encourage positive thinking and a healthy lifestyle. It is recommended for the upper elementary and middle school media centers; parents of homeschoolers may also want to use this title as a guide to dealing with these issues. The Right Moves would be an excellent gift for girls reaching puberty. VOYA A strong body, strong mind, and strong spirit are what it takes to be totally fit. A blend of attitude, eating right, and exercise makes a young person complete. This book is divided into three parts. "Pump Yourself Up" is filled with ideas to help build self-esteem, learning to accept our bodies and feeling good about life. The second part gives the basics of good nutrition, how to read food labels, how to choose healthy snacks and how to recognize the symptoms of an eating disorder. "Bodies in Motion" is about increasing energy levels, having fun while exercising, and why sweating is "cool." The authors suggest using a journal or notebook to keep a written record of positive ideas and changes from the activities, quizzes, tips, and facts that are presented. They also suggest a food makeover that will fit into a teenager's lifestyle, whether at home, school, on a date, or at the mall. They even give the skinny on "fat-free" junk foods. They describe how to design a fitness plan that is FUN! This very upbeat and practical book is designed in a way that reinforces positive information throughout, but without being repetitive. The authors are both active sports enthusiasts who work with teens in sports and fitness programs while being committed to a lifestyle of health and fitness. All easier said than done; however, this book will help inspire teenage girls to take care of their bodies, get and stay healthy, and believe in themselves. Index. Illus. Biblio.
