HAPPY NEW YEAR 

2020 Vision: 
A Future in Focus  

“Hindsight is always 20/20.” –Billy Wilder
Sometimes a walk down memory lane can help direct our future course. As we enter 2020, let’s take a look at some whacky wellness trends of the past few decades.
  • The 60s brought us Jazzercise and Slim-Mint gum to cut food cravings.
  • The 70s brought us the Sleeping Beauty Diet and Sauna Suits to melt the fat away.
  • The 80s brought us the 10-day Cabbage Soup diet and Buns of Steel.
  • The 90s brought us the Thigh Master and Richard Simmons.
  • The 2000s brought CrossFit, Zumba and Planking, oh my.
  • The 2010s brought us the Shake Weight, mermaid swim classes, and animal yoga.
Welcome to 2020! A new decade. A new opportunity to start on a journey to well-being. A reminder though: you don’t need a wild wellness trend to help you on your way – you just need a plan for the future that’s fun and fits you. Don’t know where to start? Recreation & Wellness has something for everyone, and we can't wait to connect with you!
"Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but foresight is better.” –William Blake
