MAKE A RESOLUTION FOR A HEALTHY 2012
22 December 2011
At the Y, we are nurturing the potential of all kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility, particularly at this special time of year.
“We want to remind everyone in the community that healthy living is a year-round goal,” says Lori Borders, group fitness coordinator at the Michiana Family YMCA. “While we might treat ourselves to a few special holiday extras, staying committed to fitness goals can offset some over-indulgences.”
(Click here for 10 tips to healthier holiday eating.)The Michiana Family YMCA will be closing early Saturday, December 24 at 3pm, and remain closed through December 25.
We will be open with regular hours and all scheduled fitness classes on Monday, December 26 (5:45 am-10:00 pm).
