Getting Back to Work(ing Out)

After a week of vacation it is difficult to get back in the swing of things. For my recent vacation, I took a break from both work and working out. I returned on a Saturday, and it took me until Tuesday to convince myself to get back to the gym. Nonetheless, after getting my usual workout in, I remembered why it is I do it. Now if I can explain that to the rest of my body, I’ll be in good shape!

Right Before My Eyes

“I’d like to lose weight…”

This is a recurring statement when people are asked why they are interested in becoming members at the Y. Their mission is often accompanied by a goal of feeling better about themselves or living a healthier lifestyle.

Some of the benefits of working at the Y kick in when you start to see these members reaching their goal. Knowing the struggle so many Americans face with weight loss, I am always in amazement when I see a member who has conquered this battle. I never thought I would see someone losing weight right before my eyes.
