A newsletter informing military members about exercise and nutritional information by offering recipes and other useful fitness advice was created by the Fitness and Sports Department at 17 Wing Winnipeg.
The monthly publication, called FIT-Sense, reaches out to those members of the department who may not have a chance to work with fitness staff one-on-one.
“It’s just another way for us to communicate with our military members, and our members that use the facility,” says Fitness Coordinator Lori-Ann Mundt.
Each of the fitness instructors takes on the job of putting together the newsletter for a six- month period, canvassing colleagues for story ideas and input. For instance, recently the newsletter offered “simple nutritional strategies to boost your energy,” suggesting proper breakfast and eating habits throughout the day.
A regular feature in FIT-Sense is “Exercise of the Month.” It features a photo spread showing the correct way to perform the action. Staff members act as models for the pictures to show people how to complete the exercises.
Recipes for healthy and nutritious eating keep readers coming back for more. The simple, yet tasty, creations from PSP staff are always a favourite.
“There’s some great information and advice in there,” says Mundt.
Electronic versions of the FIT-Sense newsletter are available on the DIN at http://17wing.winnipeg.mil.ca/fitsport/F&S_Web/Fitiology.htm by clicking “Services,” then “Fitness & Sports,” then “Fitness,” (again) and follow the link to “FIT-Sense.”
