Option 1: Win With Wellness
Win With Wellness is a wellness program for adult men and women. Through Win With Wellness, you will learn more about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity, and we will provide tools to help you reach your goals in these areas. Win With Wellness promotes healthy behaviors in two plans: TAKE OFF POUNDS SENSIBLY (TOPS) or HEART-TO-HEART (HH).

Option 2: Exodus 90 (for men only)
Exodus 90 is a national program that is implemented via an app that you can join today. The St. Thomas Aquinas Exodus 90 group will launch on January 13. There are 3 components to the program listed below.
A testimonial of the program from Fr. Kowalczyk:
A testimonial of the program from Fr. Kowalczyk:
- What impressed me most was the simplicity of the program. If you were to tell a man that you wanted him to improve his communication with his wife, work on his anger issues, invest more time with his kids, grow in his relationship with Jesus, and drop a few pounds to boot, he would probably have no idea where to begin. But if you told him instead to refrain from beer, sweets, and media, to pray and workout 20 minutes a day, he would find that all those other things somehow happened as a result.

1. Prayer . Closer to Jesus Christ
You will journey with the Israelites through the Book of Exodus. Each morning you’ll receive a passage from Sacred Scripture and a Reflection to guide your silent prayer.
2. Asceticism . Self-Mastery
We can’t say “yes” to God until we have said “no” to the world and its comforts. You’ll return to the Church’s ancient – and largely forgotten – tradition of asceticism.
3. Fraternity . A Band of Brothers
You will invite other men from your community to journey with you. Each week you’ll meet in person. Together you will follow a simple structure for prayer, accountability, and enthusiasm.
