The City of Estevan is promoting an event that will encourage people to keep their new year’s resolution.

The Estevan Leisure Centre will host a Don’t Ditch Your Resolution Day on Jan. 16. Free drop-in fitness classes will be offered for everyone.

"Our goal for this day is to encourage participants to continue their focus on attaining their goals, either by changing or adding something different to reduce the monotony of their fitness routine,” said Erin Wilson, program manager for the City of Estevan.

"Setting simple goals, making them tangible and sharing them with your friends and family will help keep you accountable.”

According to an Ipsos poll cited by the city, 73 per cent of Canadians break their New Year’s resolution. Jan. 17 has been referred to as Ditch your Resolution Day.

The Don’t Ditch Your Resolution Day will kick off at 6:10 a.m. with a spin class. From there, programs will include aqua awe at 9 a.m., a second spin class at 9:10 a.m., zoomer and core 2.0 at 10 a.m., PiYo Power at 10:40 a.m., mom and baby aquafit at 11:15 a.m., another core 2.0 class at 12:15 p.m., a second zoomer class at 1 p.m., aquastep at 5:15 p.m., spin at 5:30 p.m. and grit at 6:15 p.m.
