The New Year’s resolution is a much a part of holiday tradition as mistletoe and stockings. Unfortunately, like those other traditions, by mid-January too many resolutions are put away and forgotten until next year.

If one of your resolutions is to get moving more, there’s a perfect way for you to kick off 2013 doing just that. Life Time - The Healthy Way of Life Company is kicking off Jan. 1, 2013, with a Commitment Day 5k, hosted in 25 major U.S. cities. According to race director, Keith Hughes, the goal of Commitment Day is to start reversing the troubling health trends and statistics by simultaneously engaging people nationwide and creating a dialogue about living a healthy lifestyle. In order to continue this trend across generations, any adult who signs up for a Commitment Day event can bring a child age 17 or younger to participate free of charge.

As an extra perk for being so motivated, you can get $5 off registration by using the code CORP0598. Get committed and register for a Commitment Day 5K in your city by visiting www.commitmentday.com.
