As the month of January is coming to an end residents might take the opportunity to look in the mirror and review those New Years resolutions.

John McQuillan knows that a common goal for the New Year is to get into better shape and shed a few pounds. McQuillan is the Manager of the Pana Community Hospital Fitness & Wellness Center. He says they are ready to help with this lifestyle change some might be trying to make.

McQuillan emphasizes the importance of goals and making them realistic and achievable. He knows that if a goal is set at 200 pounds that might seem steep at the beginning so start with 5 pounds or ten pounds and then try to add on to that.

McQuillan appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
