*** Fit Friday ***

Ever wonder how you can use caffeine to help you power through the day?

Caffeine can boost endurance & mental performance, assist with restricted sleep and sustained operations.

Despite this, aim to get sleep. Caffeine is not an adequate replacement for sleep and should be avoided 4-6 hours before bed.

*** 💪 Muscle Monday 💪 ***

Hitting the gym is a great stimulus for our muscles, yet we can’t neglect eating a well balanced diet that includes at least 8 servings of fruits and vegetables as well as staying properly hydrated during exercise.

Staying hydrated and eating at least 8 servings of fruits and vegetables is one way to optimize performance.

*** Fit Friday ***

While it is important to engage in regular, planned physical activity, our step count can play a big role as well.

The current recommendation for good health is to aim for 10,000 steps per day. However, anything above your current daily step count is going to be beneficial.

Let’s get those steps in!

There are currently 35 AWCs worldwide. AWCs are standardized, meaning we all use the same equipment, provide the same services, and undergo the same training. Your AWC results will travel with you from AWC to AWC, so you can pick up where you left off.

Where are you headed next?

Check out our map to see if there is an AWC at your next location...

@fortstewartawc @awc_fort_drum @ftblissawc We’ve got folks headed your way!

Guidance from U.S. Army Fort Bliss

“- Masks are still required for certain garrison facilities upon the Garrison Commander’s discretion, e.g., masks are still required for everyone at the Main PX Store and Commissary in order to protect our most vulnerable populations who depend on these services.

- Masks are also still required in all medical facilities regardless of vaccination status. Yes, the SRPC too!

- Masks are no longer required at on-post gyms with proof of vaccination card and ID. Anyone without a vaccination card must still wear a mask.”

Fort Bliss AWC falls under medical facilities.
