Fitness enthusiasts are invited to be a part of the Clinton YMCA's new program, a summer survivor series.

The Y has, for several years running, offered a winter survivor series to promote regular exercise and fitness. Executive Director Rennie Cluver credits the Y's Gretchen Isaac for coming up with this ideal.

The summertime offers a lot more distractions to everyone's time and Cluver understands not everyone is going to be in the Y perhaps as much as they normally would be. He encourages participants to keep track of those outdoor activities and making sure to log those.

This past winter's survivor series offered a big prize package of a trip for two to Cancun. While that won't be on the table for this summer's program, Cluver says they still plan to offer incentives for participants.

The summer survivor series starts June 1. Get signed up by stopping into the YMCA at 417 South Alexander Street in Clinton.
