Serving Food to Our Community:
The Y is partnering with other agencies to make sure that our region’s children and youth are provided with nutritious meals. Each Monday-Friday, the school is set up in our parking lot to distribute bag lunches that include breakfast for the next day. Each Saturday and Sunday, the Y is funding and distributing similar meals to anyone under the age of 18 from 11:30am-12:30pm. If you would like to join us in these efforts, please consider a donation to the Y's Annual Fund.

CIRCUT TRAINING:
The Y has modified a familiar workout chart to include alternate exercises that can be done at home. Pictures are provided that correspond to each machine. The Cybex circuit is designed to work all the major muscle groups and takes the guess work out of what exercises to do.
We all know how important strength training is to preserving and enhancing muscle mass at any age. It can help develop strong bones, help to manage weight, enhance quality of life, manage chronic disease and sharpen your thinking skills. From home, you can follow along with the chart and pictures and continue to maintain and track your progress!
As you know, form is everything. It's important to remember all safety guidelines. If you're unsure of how to perform the exercise, please email Robin Maginn at rmaginn@clcymca.org.
