What STRIVE 2 Survive can do you for you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

In two weeks, we will be starting our spring STRIVE 2 Survive program. I enjoy working with every group, but the spring groups always brings a bit more excitement to them as the weather starts getting nicer, we think about getting in shape for summer, we can start using the sidewalks and roads for exercises again, etc. Our 12 week program is really geared towards disease prevention while promoting life-long healthy habits. If you or you know of a friend or family member that could benefit from the program, please contact us to get enrolled! It’s time to put your health first and make a commitment to live a healthy and long life!

One of my favorite pieces of feedback we have received was from a couple who participated in STRIVE 2 Survive.  Looking good on the outside is one part of this, but we are just as concerned about your insides looking good and STRIVE 2 Survive can help make a positive impact with this!

”As participants of Strive 2 Survive I would like to share a story with you.  I know alot of people including myself think that if we change our eating habits & exercise we will lose weight and if/when that doesn’t happen we wonder why we even try and sometimes throw in the towel. However, recently my husband went into the clinic with tightness in his chest and because of his history of heart disease they decided to do an angiogram to make sure his current stents were not blocked again or that the arteries that had some previous blockage had not gotten worse. To our surprise we found out that in fact blockage was not the cause and that the arteries actually showed less blockage than the previous angiogram taken 2 years ago proving that although you may not see the changes from the outside, you are making big changes inside!  Thank you so much for the class, I’m sure it is helping make changes in many people.”
