The YMCA of Belleville and Quinte's Story


This wooden dumbell was discovered in a corner of the YMCA of Belleville and Quinte.  Dumbells were used more than a century ago for calisthenics, an approach to physical exercise than resembles gymnastics.  Once innovations, dumbells and medicine balls have been replaced by free weights and resistence machines.

The equipment that supports a healthy lifestyle may change, but the need for movement and variety in physical activity remains a constant.
