Strong B.A.N.D.S. was created to energize and inspire communities Army-wide about healthy lifestyles that support resiliency. B.A.N.D.S. stands for Balance, Activity, Nutrition, Determination and Strength.  Every year in May (also National Sports and Fitness Month) all Fort Carson Fitness Centers conduct promotional activities to encourage comprehensive health and fitness that supports an active lifestyle.
