STRONG B.A.N.D.S.

LET’S GET PHYSICAL!

Did you know May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month?  Service members, their Families, and communities – they all work better and thrive when they’re physically and mentally fit.  

With summer approaching, it’s the perfect time to improve everyone’s fitness with the 14th Anniversary of STRONG B.A.N.D.S. sponsored by Military Star Card and Discover!

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