We asked you for photos of yourselves getting active and, ladies, you did not dissapoint.
Who knew we had quidditch playing readers? Aerial yoginis? Tough mudders? We're impressed. Check out some of the world's fiercest skateboarders, surfers, boxers and beyond below—including a selection of some inspiring female athletes we've encountered in our reporting.
Feeling inspired? It's not too late to participate. Just tweet a photo yourself throwing that ball, hiking that mountain or simply going on that run. Use the hashtag #TeachHer to put your girl power on our map.
