Important Tips for Lifelong Wellness
 
Continuing education is important for all adults, especially information that can assist you in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The YMCA is offering two wellness classes loaded with helpful information.
 
"Exercising for the Health of It" is a 45-minute lecture that will be held on Tuesday, January 20th, at 6:30 p.m. in the Multi-purpose Room.  Our Community Wellness Director, Franki Pivarnik, will provide general exercise information and weight management tips.  There is no charge and no registration.
 
"Wellness for Life" is a four-week class designed to address nutritional, exercise and wellness needs for the health seeker. Here you will learn to make positive wellness choices. The class runs for four Saturdays from January 24th through February 14th at 11:00 a.m. The cost is $25 .  You may register at the Welcome Center beginning January 3rd.
