Spotlight on a
Healthy & Happy New Year
By Laura Tiedge, Director of Healthy Living
 Welcome to 2015! With the ringing in of a New Year, many of us are busy making resolutions or other commitments to changing things up in our lives. As you prepare for taking on these pledges that you are making to yourself, please know that the wellness staff of the Rye YMCA is here for you!
This year, the Rye Y will help you explore a new wellness theme each month. In January, our focus will be Know Your Numbers. We will provide opportunities for you monitor your blood pressure, BMI and body fat, as well as opportunities to assess your swimming stroke mechanics and analyze your mobility and strength. With this baseline information we can get started discovering what the Y has to offer that will help you improve your numbers.
Are you ready? Let us help, and together we can help you achieve your health and wellness goals for 2015 and beyond! All our best for a healthy and happy New Year!
