McGUIRE AIR FORCE BASE, N.J. -- Travel much? Now may be the best time.

"Around the World in 90 Days" is currently underway at the fitness center here through Aug. 30.

The self-paced fitness program consists of 40 stops around the world. Each participant must complete a fitness activity associated with that country before moving on to the next stop. A worksheet guides participants on their journey around the world, and everyone who completes the trip is a winner.

"The program is aimed to enhance wellness throughout the McGuire community with a fitness-themed fun activity," said Tech. Sgt. James Hoey, 305th Services Squadron NCO in charge of the fitness center. "Around the World in 90 Days offers a great opportunity to come out to enjoy the fitness center ... and it can be a great family activity."

The program involves several activities, including running, aerobics, weight training, racquetball, basketball and the use of cardio equipment. Any DoD cardholder who is at least 16 years of age can participate in Around the World in 90 Days. Registration for the program will continue at the fitness center through August.
