RESET CHALLENGE
Week 5: REINVEST
This week's theme is REINVEST


“There is no more profitable investment than investing in yourself. It is the best investment you can make; you can never go wrong with it. It is the true way to improve yourself to be the best version of you and lets you be able to best serve those around you.”

― Roy T. Bennett, 


Today's Advice
Your time
Your talent
Your treasure

Three pillars that hold the foundation to your character- your being.

We’ve all made choices about how to use our time, how to use our talents, and where to spend our treasure.

It’s time to REINVEST, though; to pause and take stock in where your time, talent, and treasure lie, and to reconsider how reinvesting could change your future, and your community’s future.


What does it look like to reengage with others and make a difference in the lives of others? Watch the video below.

REINVEST with the YMCA: Pre- K Counts
We at the Lancaster Family YMCA REINVEST in Lancaster by offering Pre-K Counts to kiddos in our community free of charge! This program teaches students the YMCA's core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility while preparing them to enter kindergarten ready to succeed!
During the pandemic, we've been offering Pre-K Counts virtually and in-person. Over the holidays, Ms. Carole played bingo and other games with her students over Zoom!
Work Out Of The Day
Bicycles
Julie Umstead, a Group Exercise Instructor, shows us how to properly complete the bicycle exercises.

  • Start laying flat on the ground with the fingertips behind the ears at the skull. Lift both legs and bed the knees to that the thighs and knees are at a 90 degree angle and the calves are horizontal with the ground. Point your toes.
  • Using your core, bring your right knee in toward the chest while simultaneously bringing the left elbow toward the knee. The left shoulder will lift and gently twist.
  • Keep the chin tucked and the back of the neck long throughout the exercise to prevent injury to the neck. Use your fingers as a guide and avoid pulling on the head.
  • Repeat on both sides.
Sumo Squats
  • Start standing with the feet wider than the hips.
  • Engage your core and bring the hands next to your ribs bending the elbows.
  • Squat low while sticking your tailbone behind you.
  • Return to standing while squeezing the glutes.
  • Repeat!

Weekly Devotional
Christ is our Treasure
by Seth Nenstiel, Member
York Branch YMCA

Matthew 4:18-20 ESV

“While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed him.”
 
 
Too often in this life we fail to recognize the call of something good.
