Dedicated to helping everyone make his or her best, healthiest choices, The Monday Campaigns is based on the solid science of the Monday reset. Research conducted by Johns Hopkins demonstrates that the every Monday reset can positively affect a range of healthy behaviors. People view Monday as a day for a fresh start and are more likely to starts diets and exercise regimes, quit smoking and schedule doctor's appointments on Monday than any other day. And Monday best efforts are effective: Dieters have greater long-term success if they use Monday as a "reset" day to get back on track and people report that starting the week off with exercise, healthy eating, good stress management, and a positive attitude keeps them on track throughout the week.

Look for a Monday Campaigns initiative on the home page of HealthGuru.com every Monday morning: HealthGuru.com will feature a revolving set of informational videos and text on:

Move It Monday

The expert voices powering The Monday Campaigns include academic partners from the Lerner Centers, composed of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, and the Maxwell School of Syracuse University. Collectively the Lerner Centers seek to bring marketing best practices to public health in order to promote the healthy behaviors needed to address the epidemic of chronic preventable diseases.
