SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --  Eleven lucky prize winners at each Air Mobility Command installation were recently selected for the month of July just for enrolling in FitFactor and living a healthy lifestyle. Each base will have an iPod Shuffle winner and 10 $15 iTunes music card winners during July, August and September. 

In addition, AMC Services will award one grand-prize winner at each installation a 2 GB iPod Nano at the conclusion of the 2007 program on Sept. 30. All prize winners will be randomly selected from the pool of registered FitFactor participants. 

The AMC iPod and iTunes music cards will supplement the prizes already offered by Air Force Services. Youth earn and log points for participating in any physical activity and for making healthy eating choices. There are five FitFactor levels: energy, strength, agility, adventure and endurance. Prizes are earned and awarded to youth as they reach each FitFactor level. FitFactor is a youth-health and fitness initiative sponsored by Air Force Services Family Member Programs. 

The program wraps up its second full year the end of September. FitFactor encourages physical activity and healthy eating habits of youth between the ages of 6 and 18. This initiative has been instrumental in educating countless youth throughout AMC on the many benefits of an active lifestyle. 

Children must visit the base youth center to enroll in the program. Once enrolled, they can log points at home or from any computer with internet access. For more information, log on to http://www. afgetfit.com or contact the base youth center.
