As 2012 begins and we focus on our New Year's resolutions, Health Net, Inc. (NYSE: HNT) wants to remind you that one of the best gifts we can give to ourselves is to help ourselves be healthy.

You are not alone if your New Year's resolution includes improving your health. According to FC Organizational Products LLC, which annually publishes the top ten New Year's resolutions, two of the top three New Year's resolutions for 2012 are health related: 1. Become more physically fit; and 2. Improve one's health.

In the spirit of kick-starting the New Year on a healthy note, Health Net's Community Solutions Centers (CSC) offer a large variety of free fitness and health-related classes, activities and events every month. In fact, the centers provide these services and health education classes all year long to all local residents, both kids and adults, alike.

Examples of activities to participate in:

  • Fun Fitness for Kids, Adults and Seniors
  • Zumba Exercise Class
  • Educational classes on topics such as cancer, heart disease, etc.
  • Support groups that deal with depression, alcoholism, etc.
  • Meditation

In addition to these health-promoting classes, the CSCs also offer a full scope of free activities that extend beyond health and fitness. Using the expertise of local government agencies and local community groups, the centers provide activities ranging from educational classes on cancer and prevention (Fresno) to knitting beanies for cancer patients at a local children's hospital (East Los Angeles) to passing out free bread to the local community (Stanislaus).

Adding these positive New Year's resolutions into your daily routine is a great way to start the New Year and help maintain a healthy lifestyle. Getting involved in one's own wellness is key to leading a healthy life and what better way to do it, while connecting with other members in your community.

Health Net is proud to offer these educational services and events to the communities it serves.
