What does #SummerStrong look like for you?
Take advantage of the longer days and warmer weather by going on more walks. Perhaps you've signed up for a new class that makes you a little nervous. Maybe it's getting the kiddos into swimming lessons for the very first time. Whatever your goals are, make this summer a strong one with the YMCA.
