Spring Forward with Healthy Habits! |
It's finally here! As we celebrate spring, here are some tips from Angie Shonts, Landing YMCA Wellness Director, about how we can "spring clean" our health this month:
1. Eat Colorful. Refresh your meals by choosing ripe and bright fruits and veggies to add to your lunch or dinner. Here's a healthy recipe you can use for your next meal: https://bit.ly/39bOsUG.
2. Get Outside. A short, energizing walk can lift your mood and keep you from reaching for more caffeine or unhealthy snacks. It's also a great way to break up the day and clear your head.
3. Invite Fresh Air. Open a window! Get some air circulation going in your home and let the bad (allergens, dust, etc.) out.
4. Get Sleep! A lack of sleep can have a negative effect on your overall health. According to the National Sleep Foundation, adults need at least 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.
5. Don't forget the SPF. Enjoy that vitamin D, but sunscreen is a must to prevent premature aging and to protect yourself from dangerous skin diseases.

Lee Evans
If you've been to the Bath Area Family YMCA, you probably recognize Lee's friendly face at the front desk as you walk through the door!
We enjoy his positive attitude, quotes of the day, and his sarcasm and wit. April will mark his 12th year at the Y. He likes to say that his favorite part of the job is that it requires "no heavy lifting."
Thanks for all you do, Lee!

Do More with Your Membership
A Y membership has always been more than access to a facility. Your memberships help us serve more neighbors, especially in times of need. In addition to memberships for adults, family, youth and seniors, we've added new options.
Want to stay fit and connected, but not ready to come back in person? Our Virtual Membership offers 15 online classes a week, including yoga and Barre led by our local instructors.
Our Impact Membership gives you the opportunity to be a part of our YMCA, with or without a facility, in a meaningful way. By becoming an Impact Member, you help us address the needs in our community like food insecurity, education, and isolation. You also receive two passes a month good for use at either facility! Join today and become part of the solution.
