8/20/2013 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- The
BE WELL program, an Air Force-wide program designed to provide Airmen
and leadership with resources to optimize fitness and health, now offers
more choices and increased flexibility, thanks to a revamp that went
into effect July 1.
The Balanced Eating, Work Out Effectively, Living Longer, or BE WELL
program, was redesigned based on input from Airmen, leadership and Air
Force health promotion professionals.
The result is a fully customizable program structured to offer
effective, targeted solutions in the areas of fitness, nutrition
education, and dietary supplement safety, according to Air Force Health
Promotion (AFHP) officials at the Air Force Medical Operations Agency,
Joint Base San Antonio, Texas.
The new program offers access to a full suite of options, including a
comprehensive online class, telephonic health coaching through Military
One Source, in-person classes on weight management with a fitness
component, and instructor-led workshops on cardiovascular and strength
training.
Options in the new BE WELL program will remain open to all Airmen and
their families, and the program will continue to be mandatory for those
with unsatisfactory fitness scores. Members with unsatisfactory scores
will collaborate with their unit fitness program manager and their
commander to choose the one or more options that will best help them
meet their fitness goals, said Lt. Col. Trisha Vorachek, Air Force
Health Promotion chief.
Leadership teams can request information and support from their
installation Air Force health promotion professionals or contact Kelly
Williams, Air Force Medical Support Agency health promotion program
manager at DSN 761-7382.
