WHAT:
|
|
|
According to a January 2014 study by University of Scranton's
Journal of Clinical Psychology, only 46% of people keep up with a
New Year's resolution for longer than six months. July marks the
half way point in 2014. For those who have lost momentum in their
New Year's resolution to get healthy, there is no better time than
the present to kick failed resolutions and to recommit for the
balance of the year and make an early commitment to keep it going
into 2015 by registering for Commitment Day, which opens today.

Commitment Day, created and produced by Life
Time - The Healthy Way of Life Company (NYSE:LTM),
was created to unite individuals in 5K Walk/Run events across the
US and Canada each January 1, as they declare their commitments to
healthy eating, exercise, family, respect, giving and a healthy
planet. Since its inaugural year in 2013, more than 65,000 people
have participated in Commitment Day.

WHY:
|
|
|
As America's health continues to take center stage with rising
obesity rates, a generation of children facing serious health
consequences, escalating health care costs and controllable
diseases growing out of control, Commitment Day is about
transforming the health of our country by encouraging people to
make commitments of their own while encouraging family members,
friends and colleagues to join them in doing the same. People of
all ages and physical abilities are encouraged to commit to a
healthy way of life, and extend a helping hand to others to do the
same. It's a movement to unify the nation around a cause for much
needed change, before it is irreversible.

|
|
|
|
|
|
In 2014, Commitment Day is proud to support the Life
Time Foundation, a private operating foundation created by
Life Time, as it strives to improve children's nutrition through
education and the and the elimination of highly processed and
unnatural ingredients from school lunch menus, ensuring every
child has a healthy start in life.
