A typical New Year’s resolution for a lot of people is to lose weight. The Greene County Community Center can help with a special program.

Jefferson Parks and Recreation Director Vicky Lautner says they are doing a “New Year’s Fitness Challenge” for 2018. The five-week program will help participants jump start their health and fitness goals with workouts, healthy eating tips and motivation. Lautner points out that it will also keep participants accountable to achieve individual goals, with emails sent out by the program leader and certified personal trainer Simone Lang

“He feels that five- to six-weeks you start to develop a pattern and once you start to get into that pattern that you’ll continue to do it. He’s done these challenges before, and I think people really enjoy the information that he gives to them, and it’s a lifelong thing. You have to continue doing the things that he has for you to do.”

The cost for the program is $20. Call 386-3412 or stop by the community center in Jefferson to sign up.
