Utilizing the buddy system to stay healthy<br />
Publisher 22CM aims<br />
to help readers keep<br />
resolutions with<br />
Healthy Living Expo<br />
Will O’Brien, Freelance Reporter<br />
For the millions of Americans<br />
who make — and break — New<br />
Year’s resolutions to get healthier,<br />
the struggle often comes down to a<br />
lack of support.<br />
That will not be an issue at 22nd<br />
Century Media’s Healthy Living<br />
Expo, where nearly 1,000 attendees<br />
from across the southwest<br />
suburbs are expected to take in a<br />
full day of fitness with 67 vendors,<br />
seven workout sessions and eight<br />
inspirational speakers.<br />
The free event, now in its third<br />
year and set for 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday,<br />
Jan. 19, at the Tinley Park<br />
Convention Center, was created<br />
with resolution-makers in mind,<br />
said Heather Warthen, the publishing<br />
company’s chief events officer.<br />
“The expo really ties in nicely<br />
with New Year’s and people wanting<br />
to shift away from all the indulgences<br />
of the holiday season,”<br />
Warthen said. “It’s a great way to<br />
hit reset.”<br />
With more vendors than in<br />
years past, the expo will give attendees<br />
the opportunity to interact<br />
with businesses and organizations<br />
representing the full spectrum of<br />
the healthy-living world — and<br />
then some. Gyms, dietitians, physical<br />
therapists, spas, health care<br />
providers, and professionals in finance,<br />
fashion, home remodeling,<br />
and travel will all be represented.<br />
Groups conducting health screenings<br />
also will be on-hand.<br />
The first 300 guests are to receive<br />
free tote bags, while the first<br />
500 are to get product samples<br />
from KIND Snacks. Deli meatmaker<br />
Greenridge Farm and Poppilu<br />
Antioxidant Lemonade also<br />
