This just in: Got grit? Thank pops

Check these out, too...

Your tough-as-nails, can-do attitude makes you a winner on the field, in school and pretty much everywhere else. And a new study says that you can thank one dude for that awesome trait: dear old dad.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Brigham Young University’s School of Family Life just released their findings of a study on 325 families. While Mom gives ya hope and gratitude, researchers say, Dad helps you figure out how to meet the difficulties in life—very keep calm and carry on.

So this Father’s Day, give Dad an extra-big hug for making ya the determined, driven darlin’ you are today. And remember, go get ‘em, champ!

Is it okay to do like 3 10 min. spurts of exercise throughout the day in stead of just 1 30 min. session? I often get bored with exercise because 30 mins seems like a long time to me lol. What do you think?

Hey girlie,

30 mins of exercise can seem long at first, but it's really good to get your heart rate up, dedicate time to it, and push yourself to build up endurance. It's great to get moving at all, but we really recommend setting aside a larger chunk of time (like 30 min) to push your bod to its limits!

guess my dad doesn't have this. I am TERRIBLE at sports at school! Plus, I'm not that big of a nerd! It's that or 1.) people strongly misjudge me 2.) because of that, I admit, I have REALLY BAD SELF-CONFIDENCE!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
