Congratulations, HIP Kids!

June 25, 2015

Hip Kids-Way to go

A BIG congratulation goes out to the participants of our HIP KIDS program who lost 48 pounds and 98 inches! We are so proud of them! Read below for a message from our wellness director at our Lansdale Branch.

“We received a grant to bring the HIP KIDS program to our Lansdale Area Family YMCA. The Health Initiative Program (HIP KIDS) brought together kids from ages 10 to 13 for a chance to learn healthy eating, fitness and how to deal with making better choices in order to become healthy adults. While the program was a weight loss program, the bigger focus was on good health practices through good nutrition and fitness. The kids worked for 12 weeks with a Registered Dietician, Physiologist and 4 Personal Trainers. They learned how to eat healthy through understanding what good nutrition is, did fitness classes ranging from Yoga to spinning with the trainers, and also participated in a weekly group dealing with issues such as emotional eating, mindful eating, and self-esteem. The results were fantastic! The overall total of weight loss was 48 pounds and 98 inches! We are going to run the program again in fall. For more information on our HIP KIDS program, contact Karen Rice at 215-368-1601 ext 207.”
