While serving as a squad leader in the US Army, I watched one of my soldiers struggle with his weight and his fitness. When I tried to help, I realised no one had ever shown him what proper nutrition and proper training actually look like.
So I began sending him what I could: workout programs, meals, videos, notes. It helped. But it lived in a scatter of texts and links, and one thought kept returning.
There is a better way to do this.
I believe the Army’s Holistic Health and Fitness program, H2F, is one of the most complete approaches to health there is. It treats five things as one: physical, nutritional, mental, spiritual and sleep. We call the spiritual domain purpose, so it holds whatever you believe.
I wanted that for everyone, not only soldiers. Squad-ish brings all five together, and lets anyone who leads, coaches or trains with others share what works.
The five domains are inspired by the Army’s public H2F framework. Squad-ish is not affiliated with or endorsed by the US Army or the Department of War.
