π₯ Lunch with Luke! πͺ
Our Gymnastics Team recently sat down with Luke, South Shore YMCA's Director of Health & Wellness, for a fun conversation about healthy eating, smart snacks, and fueling their bodies for success.
Now, let's address the elephant in the room...
π Did anyone else notice the bag of Doritos sitting right in front of Luke? According to him, they're packed with protein. We're still fact-checking that one. π
Jokes aside, one of the best things about the Y is having knowledgeable staff who are always willing to share tips, answer questions, and help members build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
See Luke or any member of our Health & Wellness team around the Y? Stop and say hello. You might leave with a great wellness tip... or a new perspective on Doritos. ππ
