Text Box: Our first lunch time workshop was a big hit! The gals from the YMCA shared what the “Y” has to offer, passed out information about their programs and free passes, showed us some quick, easy ways to get moving (and boy, did we get moving!), and for those of us brave enough to try it, did some body fat ratio analysis. Thanks to everyone that participated in this event!!!
