New #research we’ve unveiled today highlights the role parents, caregivers and guardians have in creating a positive relationship with movement for the young girls in their lives. 🟢 Almost a quarter of parents* with children aged 11 – 16 are motivated to #exercise to be a positive role model for their children, and this increases in parents of young girls 🟢 80% of parents believe they positively influence their daughter’s movement habits, and 76% of daughters agree 🟢 57% of parents surveyed want to exercise more frequently with their daughter to have more quality time together In response to these findings, we’re encouraging parents to take action by role-modelling positive relationships with #movement to increase engagement in young girls. This is why #MoveTogether, our free programme for girls aged 11 to 16 is so important, as it aims to get girls moving in a safe and enjoyable environment. Parents accompanying their children can also enjoy a complimentary free day pass to the gym this summer.
