The Norwich Family YMCA unveils its “Resolved and Ready” Fitness Program for the New Year
NORWICH – Norwich’s YMCA is rolling out what representatives refer to as the newest version of its highly effective nutrition and fitness program.
YMCA Health and Fitness Director, Shannon Gawronski, explained “we have done many successful programs in the past, and we just keep improving upon them.”
She said the new Resolved and Ready program is sure to help people keep their New Year’s resolutions to become healthier and more fit in 2020.
The 10 week program, often categorized as a personal “challenge,” is a fun and innovative way to get individuals to track their nutrition and increase their activity. Participants use “score sheets” to accumulate points for better nutritional choices and for getting more and varied exercise. Each week participants try to earn more points than the week before.
These types of personal challenges can be highly motivating to individuals who want to see improvement in real numbers.
Representatives said the results have been undeniable and are perfectly sustainable once people learn how to eat and exercise optimally, and that this program is also individualized to meet the needs of anyone of any age or ability. Participants also do the program on their own time, and can choose to have as much help and guidance as they feel they need.
Lynn Kline has participated in many of the Y’s fitness challenges and said, “The fitness challenges simply help make you aware of how to eat optimally to meet your weight loss and fitness goals. Participants receive weekly feedback from the Coordinators regarding their diet and exercise choices, no one should have a problem reaching the results they are looking for.”
Pat Dietrich, another Coordinator, explains that the program encourages participants to be accountable by handing in their weekly food diary, as well as a record of the workouts they completed each week. "In fact, the results from our Fall challenge were amazing," said Dietrich. “On average, the participants lost more than 11 pounds, 10 total inches, 5 percent body fat, and reduced their BMI by 2, all while gaining muscle mass!”
Registration for the Resolved and Ready program began January 13. The first week of the program is a practice week to help participants understand how it works. During this week the program directors will complete an initial body composition which measures weight, inches, body fat, skeletal muscle and BMI as a baseline.
Participants get another body comp assessment at the 5 week and 10 week points as well, so they can clearly measure their progress. Program Directors, Gawronski and Dietrich, will be available to help participants reach their goals as much as needed.
To register in the Resolved and Ready fitness program, or to get more information, please call Shannon Gawronski at the YMCA (607) 336-9622.
The challenge is only $50 for Y members. If you are not yet a member of the Y, the program is still $50, but participants have to pay for a three month membership in order to use all of the Y’s facilities.
Representatives said that’s only $5 a week for three full body composition assessments, weekly guidance and feedback.
