Promote Physical Fitness! Promoting physical fitness at your command or installation can be easily performed by printing news articles and photographs. Contact your local public affairs officer (PAO) to identify steps to promote physical fitness in your local newspaper or newsletters. To assist you in writing physical activity and nutrition news articles, you may use, as a model, one of the many articles that have been published in the NAS Oceana JET OBSERVER newspaper, or you may choose from a diverse selection of articles developed by the American Council on Exercise.
The Oceana Dam Neck In Motion (ODNIM) Campaign was conducted during 2004 for the purpose of improving physical fitness, improving healthy nutrition practices and reducing obesity among military affiliates.
