"Holiday Trimmings" at the Norm Waitt Sr. Y is a program designed to keep people from putting on those few extra pounds during the holiday season.
Halfway through the program's duration, it's the first day for one girlfriend duo - Chanda Ramirez and Faith Limon of Sioux City. For them, it's not about being able to eat all the Thanksgiving and Christmas goodies available to them, it's about leading a healthier lifestyle from here on out.
But they'll be the first to admit, getting started is never easy.
Chanda says, "I think a lot of people are afraid what other people think of them or you're not sure how to work the equipment, but when you're here, it's comfortable and people are doing it for the same reason as you are."
They do like that the program allows them to workout out at their own will. That there's no set schedule to follow, allowing them to work it into theirs.
Faith says, "This is good for me, because I have kids and with kids, come requirements of your time and things like that, so I can come whenever it's good for me."
Both women thought sticking to a commitment like this would be easier with a friend, so they signed up together.
