Air Force Materiel Command promotes ‘Ready, Set, Summer’ physical activity challenge

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio — This spring season, Civilian Health Promotion Services will promote its “Ready, Set, Summer” physical activity challenge. The RSS challenge is an onsite CHPS program-wide initiative designed to promote physical activity for the workforce. Regular physical activity is one of the most important actions that people of all ages can take to improve their health. Being physically active can help people feel better, function better, sleep better and reduce the risk of a large number of chronic diseases.

Participants who enroll in the RSS challenge will receive a free set of Stack 52 flexibility exercise cards at the official check-in with CHPS. The Stack 52 flexibility cards have links to online demonstration videos of each exercise.

How to Participate in RSS:

Attend the CHPS education class, “Injury Prevention,” between April 22 and June 7.

Attend a final check-out with CHPS between June 10 and 19 to receive your completion award.
