| YOGA FOR ARTHRITIS | |
If you suffer from arthitis--whether it be osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis-- we have a new wellness class designed  to help ease your chronic pain and joint problems. This Arthritis Foundation-sanctioned, 8-week class is designed to help you build a lifetime of skills that you can use at home to build a yoga practice of your own.
Yoga for Arthritis meets in Studio B on Mondays and Fridays from 8:00 AM- 9:15 AM from March 3 - April 28. Class size is limited to ten, so enroll soon at the Welcome Center. |
| WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AQUATICS | | |
New Ultraviolet Technology
If you've noticed that the pool seems fresher with less of a chlorine smell it is because we have installed the latest in pool technology-- an ultraviolet water treatment system. We are one of the few pools in the area with this system, which reduces pesky chloramines and their side effects: red eyes, skin irritations and swim suit deterioration. Now you can enjoy a much healthier swim enviroment in glacier-clear sparkling water!
Second Graders Learn to Swim
Learning to swim as a child is not only a fun way to increase skills, it can be a life-saving achievement. The Victory Family YMCA recognizes the importance of drowning prevention and offers free swim lessons to all students currently in second grade.
The program occurs on Fridays between January 24-February 28 from 4:45 PM- 5:30 PM. Each week-long session is designed to teach a variety of swim skills as well as build self-confidence and endurance in the water. Be sure to register at the Welcome Center. |
| CHRISTIAN-CENTERED PROGRAMS FOR LIFE CHANGES | |
The Daniel Plan
If you are discouraged by trying to lose weight, perhaps a more comprehensive approach is what you need for success. The Daniel Plan is a faith-based, holistic wellness program combining elements that integrate spirituality, community support and science to create lasting weight loss.
Developed by Pastor Rick Warren, best-selling author of The Purpose Driven Life, this plan combines the elements of food, fitness, focus, faith and friends, and has caught the attention of health gurus everywhere, including Dr. Mehmet Oz.
You will learn how this program is changing lives, observe Daniel Plan signature chefs making Daniel Plan-approved recipes and learn practical tips from our fitness experts.
Join members of the Victory YMCA on Mondays for seven weeks beginning February 10, from 9:00 AM- 10:00 AM, to explore this step-by-step unique wellness program. There is a $10 charge for the study workbook. Please email Dennis Neill for more information at dneill6@cox.net. Participation is limited so register at the Welcome Center soon!
Journey to Freedom Plan
Tired of breaking your New Year's Resolutions? Is it weight loss, negative thinking, or unfulfilled dreams? Join us on an 8-week Christ-centered journey that will help you walk through the process of change by building a foundation where change can grow, take root, and become permanent.
Thursday, March 18th - June 6th. 9:30 - 11:00 am.

| DONATE YOUR JEANS TO SOMEONE IN NEED | | |
This is the time of year we often feel the need to get organized, clean out closets and get our lives in order. You can also use that energy to help someone in need!
From now until February 14, donate your gently-used jeans to our Jeans for Teens program. We collect all sizes, not just for kids. Please bring in any clean jeans that you and your family no longer need and place them in the donation box in the lobby. |
| POPOVERS MAKE A HEALTHY BREAD | | |
February is known as "heart healthy" month and it's a good time to try something new. Below is a recipe for popovers-- a type of bread/muffin that was very popular many years ago and one that is making a comeback. They are easy, use only using a few ingredients, they cook fast and are best eaten hot out of the oven. The below recipe was taken from the Mayo clinic website:
Serves 6
Ingredients:
1 cup fat-free milk
1 cup all-purpose (plain) flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Generously coat 6 large metal or glass muffin molds with cooking spray. Heat the muffin molds in the oven for 2 minutes.
In a large bowl, add the milk, flour, salt and egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat until smooth. Fill the heated muffin molds 2/3 full. Bake in the top part of the oven until golden brown and puffy, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately. |
