My 30-minute workout at the Linwood YMCA was the real deal. My workout buddy was trainer Ricky Thompson.
I attended the Core class. The warm-up was nice and easy, and then we started some of the more difficult exercises - and my abs felt it!
The Linwood Y is unique because along with physical exercises it also offers special programs for children and families to get involved.
"We believe in the holistic approach,” explained Linwood YMCA Executive Director Stephenie Smith.
Smith talked about a new program called Launch Pad that is specifically geared for youth. Participants will engage in health and fitness activities and learn about things like robotics and technology. Meals are also provided.

Thanks for the great workout, Ricky!
