Today's girls are still not hip to good health. Susceptible to food fads and dangerous diets, most girls are clueless about nutrition and fitness. They are more likely to listen to the latest "lose ten pounds in two days" rumor than to their own bodies. The Right Moves gives teenagers the real deal on being proactive about their health - inside and out. Chapters include: building self-esteem; staying positive; be good to yourself; visualize it; food for thought; how to eat right; your road map to healthy eating; ready to read labels?; the skinny on fat-free junk foods; food makeovers that fit your social life; overhaul your kitchen for healthy eating at home; diet is a four-letter word; battling eating disorders; what does fitness really mean?; a fitness plan that fits you; cross-training fun; why sweating is cool; gearing up to get moving; vroom, vroom - warming up; head-to-toe flexibility; the agony and the bliss; and pros and cons of your workout options.
