No. 1 daughter does the following activities each week, on top of any school activities;
Monday: Kick boxing Tuesday: Fencing Wednesday: Handball/Running Thursday: Fencing Friday: Kickboxing Saturday: Running/Hockey Sunday: Sleeping until 2.00pm and then sat on her butt playing computer games.
She's about 5' 6" or so, and built in proportion to that height. She's fit and healthy, and not particularly muscular.
Her sister does a bit, and is also healthy, but doesn't do as much as this one.
Her school grades are fine. above average. Her other weekly activities of oil painting, shooting, and drama are not physically difficult. Other than a total lack of activity on a Sunday and sleeping most of Sunday, she doesn't seem over tired.
Do you think I am letting her do too much? It is absolutely "letting", she is not pushed into this stuff at all. Or can I just let her find her own level and adjust as necessary?

Good that she's active. I'd encourage it.

I forgot to say, she's 15.
I guess its an easier problem than a child that wants to do nothing.

I think most parents of 15 year old children of either sex would be delighted to have a daughter like yours....
It does depend upon the child and if they are capable of socialising in the slightest way, then you should try to kick em up the backside. My 19 year old son was a bit (a lot) lacking in confidence aged 11 - 14, but gradually found badminton, squash and five-a-side with a variety of people both inside and outside our social circle and of varying ages, including many senior citizens. It really helped him and his body shape changed from podgy to tall and skinny as a result.
16 year old son is more outgoing so simply does karate regularly. Luckily he has always been slim.
If children are voluntarily doing activities, then don't knock it. It will add years to their lives even if they don't know it.

Its a good spread, means she is not getting obsessed about any one thing.

Fine, no worries. So long as school doesn't suffer, why not?
