The festivities will include a live and silent auction featuring a year-long membership to Hunterdon Health & Wellness, golf packages from the Stanton Ridge Country Club and the Copper Hill Country Club, multiple Shawnee Mountain ski packages and artwork from local artist James Fiorentino, along with a TUMI handbag, earrings from Roman Jewlers and a fur package from Flemington Furs.

H u n t e r d o n H e a lt h & Wellness Centers We hope that you were able to begin 2013 in a healthy and happy fashion! Activities To Prevent A Wintertime Belly The winter season may seem daunting to many people, but this season does offer a lot of unique opportunities for a fresh start. With a blend of resistance and cardiovascular exercises, including snow shoveling, sledding with kids, pulling them up hills, and hiking in the snow are great ways to prevent (or reduce) a wintertime belly. The energy of the new year is still strong, and each day provides a new beginning. Trying a new group exercise class or working with a Personal Trainer may be a great way for you to stay motivated and accountable for your health. Playing with the dog outside keeps you both active and avoiding "cabin fever." Stressed? Schedule yourself for a massage! Having a home based or facility based exercise program is very helpful in these cold winter months as well. Feel free to stop into either of our facilities for a tour and membership information if interested. H a pp y S h o v e l i n g ! – B a c k S a f e t y Lift with your legs, not with your back! Be sure you are properly warmed up before starting, especially with heavy slush or snow. Be sure you have appropriate clothing and that you stay hydrated before, during and after shoveling or any snow activity.
