Welcome to my first blog!
My name is Daniel Roan, and I am the Director of Health & Wellness at the YMCA of Indiana County. I started this blog to help bring some knowledge and know-how to the Indiana Community and to help anyone begin their fitness journey.
I have been the Director of H&W for over a year now and I love every second of it. Especially getting to meet new people every day and see the impact that our facility can have on someone. It is a very rewarding position. Today, I want to touch on the importance of fitness and why it should be a priority in your household. Fitness is great for many reasons, but I have highlighted some of the specific ones below.
· Working out helps you to fall asleep faster
· Working out helps you to wake up easier
· Working out gives you more energy
· Daily fitness activities can help you control your weight
· Working out can help your mental health and mood
· Exercise improves your chances of living longer
· Exercise can reduce your risk of heart disease
And these are just to name a few! Exercise is so important in our daily lives and that is the reason why places like the YMCA exist.
Our job is to help you to better your life! We can do this by showing you all the things we offer here. We have a swimming pool, a fitness center with new cardio and cable equipment. We offer group exercise classes every day. We also offer adult sports so there is a little bit for everyone in the family. An important thing to note is that not all these things that are highlighted above happen automatically. Exercise is a commitment that takes some time for the results to show, but when they do, you will know and feel them!
So, what are you waiting for!? Come into the YMCA today and see for yourself how we can better your life.
I will be sharing a different blog each week in the coming months with exercises, recipes, and fitness notes. If you have any questions or concerns, please give me a call or an email at 724-463-9622 or danielroan@icymca.org. I am excited to meet you and help you with your fitness goals as you come and check out our facility!
