My family joined the YMCA a little over a year ago realizing that because of our work schedules our homeschooled twin boys were missing out on an integral part of their education; PE. The YMCA was our choice because it is a Christian organization. We were thinking we would enjoy the open swim time and open gym, but the Y has become so much more.
I have participated in step aerobics which was incredible, and have come to LOVE jogging around the track and light workouts. The mental benefits of regular exercise are underrated!
The twins are excelling in their numerous sports programs; gymnastics, swimming and skateboarding. Coaching football was an exhilarating experience for my husband and the boys saw their father in a whole new light.
On family nights we sometimes play basketball together and that time of laughter and camaraderie is priceless. The Y helped us each find some needed confidence and brought us a little closer together. The Christian atmosphere has been a haven for our family.
