HEALTH AND PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM Learning Objective: When you finish this chapter, you will be able to— Recognize  the  purpose  of  the  Health  and Physical Readiness Program. Identify the benefits of the Health and Physical Readiness Program to the individual. People in the Navy and in the civilian community share  a  common  problem—excessive  body  fat.  It usually  results  from  sitting  all  day  at  a  desk  job, eating  too  much,  and  getting  too  little  exercise. Excessive  body  fat  spoils  our  health,  longevity, stamina, and military appearance. Maintaining good health and physical readiness helps to keep us combat ready, make us personally effective, and give us high morale. The  Navy’s  Health  and  Physical  Readiness Program  promotes  active  health  and  fitness  at  the command  level.  The  program  includes  semiannual testing of all personnel to make sure they meet to certain standards. It provides educational programs that help personnel who don’t meet the Navy’s fitness or body fat standards. It also helps personnel who want to change long-established  bad  health  habits  to  improve  their fitness.
