LIVESTRONG at the YMCA
Partners in Healing the Whole Person
As a cancer survivor, you know the tremendous toll the disease and its treatment can take on your spirit, mind and body. You want to begin to heal and reclaim your health. But where do you start? LIVESTRONG at the YMCA can help.
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Focuses on you--the whole person--no the disease. The FREE, 12-week program meets twice a week, using traditional exercise methods to ease you back into fitness and help you maintain a healthy weight. You'll focus on:
-Building muscle mass and strength
-Increasing flexibility and endurance
-Improving confidence and self-esteem
In addition, learn about wellness, stress reduction techniques and how to continue healthful habits after the program has ended.
Just as important, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA encourages a warm spirit of community--a safe, comfortable place for you to build companionship with others affected by cancer and share stories of inspiration.
Taking it at your own pace
No one experiences cancer the same way. Participants come to the program with different physical challenges and lifestyle goals. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA provides you with individualized attention and an approach to recovery that targets the areas you need to rebuild. There is no competition here--physical activities are tailored to match only what you are able to accomplish.
