Is it finally your year? The Knox County YMCA and OSF St. Mary Medical Center wants to help you commit to living healthier. For the 8th year in a row, Commit 2 Fit will help area residents get and get moving through various forms of exercise. During the 7-week program, participants will partake in weekly team challenges. Those involved will also set attainable goals, learn healthier recipes, and receive valuable information from OSF St. Mary Medical Center and the Knox County YMCA. “It’s a great support group too because we have our Facebook page, we have teams set up (with) weekly challenges,” said Carrie McCance, Marketing and Public Relations Coordinator for OSF St. Mary Medical Center. “(Challenges) like park (in the) farthest parking spot and walk in or take the stairs instead of the elevator. Just little things to get you motivated (and) to just start thinking about exercising as well.” Tuesday, January 8th is the final day to register. Participants will weigh-in Thursday, January 10th from 4pm-6pm or Friday, January 11th from 6am-8am at the downtown YMCA location. The male and female Commit2Fit participants to experience the highest percentage of body weight lost will each be awarded prizes.
