If you've ever wondered what it'd be like to take up an exercise routine at the Clinton YMCA, the next three weeks are your chances to find out.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Executive Director Rennie Cluver indicates for the next three weeks, the Y will be open to the community to come in, try out their wellness center full of workout equipment, try out a few classes or just come in and shoot some hoops in their gym.

As we begin to hit the time of year seasonal affective disorder starts to set in and all sorts of viruses circulate, Cluver believes now is the best time to begin setting in place those healthy habits.

According to Cluver, this is a no strings attached offer to the community to come in for three weeks, take advantage of any activities or programs that sound good to the individual, and check out what the Y is all about.

If you're choosing to work out for the first time or begin a routine regularly for the first time, Cluver has a couple of pieces of advice. The first is to something you like and the other is to invite someone along with you to hold you accountable.

Stop into the YMCA at 417 South Alexander Street in Clinton to learn more. Cluver says for anyone unfamiliar with the Y, he or someone on his staff is always willing to offer a tour and provide more information on all the activities and wellness programs they have available.
