STRONG B.A.N.D.S.

COMMIT – STAY FIT!
 

Army Soldiers, units, Families and communities – they all work better when they’re fit. That doesn’t happen by accident. It takes commitment. And you can do it!

Commit to Staying Fit this May
with the 12th Anniversary with STRONG B.A.N.D.S. 

STRONG B.A.N.D.S. – STRONG Balance, Activity, Nutrition, Determination and Strength – promotes healthy, active lifestyles for Army communities. It helps motivate Army Soldiers, Families, Retirees and Civilians to get and stay fit.

Commit today! Get stronger and faster. Eat right. Join garrison fitness and wellness opportunities. Learn more about how to improve your body, mind and total health.

Tell your friends and Family about STRONG B.A.N.D.S., and invite them to make the commitment, too!

Check out the fitness and nutrition resources we have put together from the Exchange's BE FIT and Fort Belvoir MWR Sports and Fitness  and get started today!

Human Performance Resources by CHAMP, is a DoD initiative that provides evidence-based information that empowers members of the military community to be physically and mentally fit, fuel and hydrate properly, maintain social ties, and stay resilient—all pieces of the puzzle that make up Total Force Fitness.
