What? I thought you had wings. Now you are confusing me, it doesn't alter my respect for your species though. And sometimes walking around confused can be pleasant.

At our MO school our girls basketball team wears baggy longer shorts (that essentially are skirt-like in the amount of fabric) with Capri leggings under and shells under the jersey t-shirts.
I know of a lot of folks who hold that girls and women can wear modest shorts or pants in a setting where it's appropriate- like sports.
I think starting a class for girls is a great idea - you might even find a local women only gym to offer one. Then if dads pick up they will just be In the lobby and your daughter can slip a skirt or something in before exiting.

(Of course, first we take off our ice skates.)
To you humans, though, they probably look like flippers.
Our wings, OTOH, we use to dust the computer screen sometimes.

Maybe she and her friends can organize a running group together. Skirts can be worn over pants for whoever wants.

What about buying "step it up?" It's a dance mat that you attach to your computer screen and the kids have to follow the prompts on the screen to different dance moves. It's tons of fun and there's varying levels of difficulty. It really gets my daughter moving!

I don't have any better answers, OP, than what you have already received.
I have always felt a disappointment that the frum life-style doesn't usually lend to a body healthy life-style. There is not a whole lot of activities out there for girls, especially.
It's just not all that gratifying to exercise in a basement or learn a skill such as dance which can't every really be shown off. I'm not a dancer and never had that desire but I imagine that those who dance get a certain satisfaction and fulfillment out of being able to share their art form and sense of expression with others. Similarly, participating in a team sport has it's own rewards aside from health related.

Great idea! We borrowed one from a friend for a while, and my kids loved it!
By the way, I've had trouble finding this for what used to be the regular selling price for my family. If anyone can point me to a place to get it, I'd appreciate it.

We had simcha dancing for girls and women when I was growing up. Someone hired a teacher and a basement room and girls and moms alike (not always together). It was really fun, and great exercise in a skirt! Plus, I knew all the dances when bat mitzvahs came around!

What does SHE want to do? Will she mind being dressed differently?
