About Habits for the HOlidays
We all know the holidays are often when healthy habits slide off track and waistbands get tighter, right? Well, we have a gift that will keep on giving in a good way: Habits for the Holidays! This is the perfect time to join this FREE-TO-Y-MEMBERS program, designed to get you all the way from the candy of Halloween, past the Thanksgiving meal, and through Christmas so you’re ahead of the game with your resolutions. Not only that, but the habits are for the whole you: Spirit, Mind, and Body. Commit to maintaining your overall health goals with our Habits for the Holidays program. We promise it’s full of simple strategies that can help keep you moving in the right direction through the holidays and beyond!
Invest in yourself!
We know what we are supposed to do to take care of ourselves – eat right, get plenty of sleep, drink plenty of water and exercise. But we can put it off, especially when it comes to the holidays. But the truth is, a happier, healthier you can accomplish a lot more.
Habits for the Holidays can help you commit to your health during this busy time of year. For over a 100 years, the Kokomo Family YMCA has supported individuals and families in their quest for a healthier lifestyle. The YMCA is a place to learn skills, make friends, build self-efficacy and strengthen one’s spirit, mind and body.
