Singer-songwriter Keri Hilson, along with The OMG Girlz, helped motivate over 200 teenage girls in a full-course fitness challenge last Saturday for “Pretty Girls Sweat.”
During the event, the girls were encouraged to be active, learned the importance of health and nutrition, how to dress for indoor and outdoor workouts and received free mentorship.
With a series of physical activities designed to encourage teenage girls to have fun with fitness, surprise guests Tiffany Evans and Bo Talley participated in the Beginners Basketball Work Out, Double Dutch Aerobics, Sweat Makes Sense Challenge and Jumping Jacks Challenge.
“By creating a fun atmosphere on the YMCA basketball court, Pretty Girls Sweat will make the girls less intimidated about moving their bodies,” said Aeshia DeVore Branch, Pretty Girls Sweat and Teen Diaries founder.
“An upbeat and comfortable setting will stimulate candid discussion among PGS mentors and attendees. Our hope is to have a ripple effect inspiring teen girls to consider working out and making healthy lifestyle choices by the cumulative efforts of all parties involved and the power of social media.”
