The Army & Air Force Exchange Service invites Soldiers, Airmen and military families to put in some work as a military community during live BE FIT workouts each Monday on the Exchange\u2019s Facebook page, facebook.com\/shopmyexchange<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The live workouts, which include interval training, core workouts, strength exercises<\/a> and more, grew out of a desire to promote wellness during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese BE FIT workouts remind military communities that staying fit is critical\u2014especially during the pandemic,\u201d said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, Exchange senior enlisted advisor. \u201cJoining the Exchange workouts through Facebook fosters a sense of community and resiliency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each video begins with a short introduction, then Montez describes each exercise before he and Berry lead viewers on stretching. During the workout, Montez pauses to rest, provides advice and answers questions from the online audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like having a free trainer,\u201d said Berry, the Exchange\u2019s assistant director for public health and food safety. \u201cIt demonstrates the Exchange\u2019s commitment to fitness and healthy lifestyles.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Exchange\u2019s BE FIT initiative highlights better-for-you dining grab-and-go options and provides an assortment of fitness gear and wellness services. The program empowers military customers, their families and the broader military community to make healthy lifestyle choices.<\/p>\n
