Reuse-A-Shoe:
Each year, millions of athletic shoes are thrown away. These shoes fill landfills and disrupt the beauty of the landscape. But, your closet is overflowing. The shoes are worn out. What else can you do? Bring your used athletic shoes to the Venice YMCA from Sept. 2-4, and we will turn them in to Nike, who will use them as part of their "Reuse-A-Shoe" campaign. These shoes will be recycled into playgrounds, tennis courts, running tracks, and basketball courts. Your throw-aways can become your children's play surfaces! Please, only athletic shoes, and nothing with metal. Please be sure shoes aren't muddy or wet. Contact Chris at cwoodward@veniceymca.org for more details.
Turbo Kick :

Change it up! Don't let your workout get stale. Keep your body guessing. If you do the same workout, day after day, your body adapts, and you stop seeing results. Challenge facilitates change. If you challenge your body, you'll see results.Nutrition Tip of the Month:
Eat after your workout. Consuming a snack with some carbohydrates and protein will replenish your energy stores, and provide the nutrients necessary to build muscle.August Wellness Seminars:
