Helping young girls achieve a healthy mind and body is what the national non-profit, Girls On The Run, is all about.
"We're teaching both the physical health with the emotional health and trying to blend it all together for these girls," said Amanda Kipnis, a coach for Girls On The Run San Diego.
"This is a program that I wish I had when I was their age. It could've saved a lot of heartache, a lot of tears," Kipnis said."From choosing healthy friends to standing up to bullies, stop and take a breather, I feel statements... my favorite is turning negative self-talk into positive self-talk," Kipnis said.
"Then Girls On The Run comes in and is like let me give you these confidence steps. This is how you can," Kipnis said."It [the program] talks about your feelings and that it's okay to be mad or sad and then we get to exercise and we run," Sanchez said."It's a lot of fun for me because my brother... he always loves to race me," Rojas said."I love to be positive. I get to help other people," she said.
