About
Healthy Living- Improving our community's health and well-being The YMCA is a leading voice on health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interests. Well-being includes having a healthy spirit, mind, and body. YMCA health enhancement programs stress the value of prevention through good exercise habits and overall enhanced well-being, including nutrition, stress management, and health education. Through facilities and equipment in the field of health enhancement, personal fitness evaluations, and group exercises, the YMCA promotes healthy life styles for all. The active older adults program stresses a three-way approach to work with seniors, involving health and fitness, social activities, and opportunities for volunteerism. To this end, special exercise programs have been developed and seniors are encouraged to volunteer in providing programs to others. Social activities and program outings also combat senior isolation, a community-wide problem identified by United Way of Tarrant County. Over 17,000 seniors engaged in healthy living activities in 2018. Adaptive aquatics program - a water exercise program for seniors and participants with arthritis or chronic physical ailments (stroke victims, back injuries, etc.). The program provides swimming and water safety skills, and physical exercise for individuals who are virtually unable to exercise any other way. These classes increase joint flexibility and help relieve pain, a welcome alternative for people who are usually shut out of regular exercise classes. These programs are offered at fees affordable to the community at large, with financial assistance for those who cannot afford the full fee. The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program (YDPP) helps those at high risk adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles and reduce their chance of developing Type 2 diabetes. YDPP is based on the landmark Diabetes prevention Program funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which showed that by eating healthier , increasing physical activity and losing a small amount of weight, a person with pre-diabetes can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes by 58%. In a classroom setting a trained lifestyle coach helps change participants' lifestyles as they learn about healthy eating, physical activity and other behavior changes over the course of 16 one-hour sessions, Topics covered include nutrition, getting started with physical activity, overcoming stress, staying motivated, and more.
