WellnessWellness is an official and integral part of the Air Force Junior ROTC program. It consists of two exercise programs focused upon individual base line improvements with the goal of
achieving a national standard as calculated by age and gender. Wellness curriculum is instrumental in developing citizens of character dedicated to serving our nation and communities. The program is provided as a tool to help you develop individualized fitness programs for your cadets. Cadets will be given the opportunity to put into practice the wellness concepts that are taught in Leadership Education 100. Instructors are encouraged to include team sports in order to keep the Wellness Program fun and motivating. Team sports also provide cadets the opportunity to develop leadership skills and build esprit de corps. Cadet fitness improvement is rewarded by earning the Health and Wellness Ribbon. The course objective for the Wellness Program is to: Motivate AFJROTC cadets to adopt active, healthy lifestyles beyond program requirements and into their adult lives. The goals of the Wellness Program are to: 1. Create an individualized fitness program based on national standards by age and gender. 2. Identify areas of improvements for each cadet and provide guidance for improvement. 3. Incorporate a physical fitness and wellness education program to reach fitness goals. |
