The Marine Corps is implementing a new holistic fitness program designed to help warriors focus on whole body fitness.

The program, called the Marine Corps Fitness Improvement Tool (MCFIT) was spearheaded by Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford. It is designed to help Marines recover from the stresses of combat in a healthy, holistic fashion.

?From the command side this program will be extremely helpful in assessing overall unit fitness,? said Navy Lt. Lindsey Stoil, a medical planner with Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group. ?Things might look good on the outside, but there might be an underlying problem across the unit.?

The program includes two phases, the first of which is a paper-based survey designed to assess a Marine?s health, and the second is a web-based assessment. Phase 2 is still under development and is scheduled to launch at the end of this year. Participation in the program is completely anonymous.
