The New Year's Resolution

In this sixth podcast episode of "Kickin' It With the Y," host Ahmad K. Qawi, President/CEO of the Racine Family YMCA, is joined by Mathias Werve, Personal Trainer at the Racine Family YMCA, to discuss how to start out the New Year right from the health and wellness perspective. Mathias also discusses how his personal support network and background in endurance sports helped him in his recovery from a brain tumor in his early teens. Having a support network is key to achieving and maintaining health and overcoming health challenges, and Mathias and his colleagues at the Racine Family YMCA help fill that essential role for our members and in our community.

Mathias Werve is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin—Whitewater. A certified Personal Trainer, Mathias has been at the Y for six years, working with people through a variety of different Y programs to help them meet and maintain health goals, including cancer survivors and Parkinson’s patients, based on each individual’s needs.
