By Kelly Appelman
“New Year, New Me.” It’s the saying that comes around every January.We hear it time and time again from our friends and coworkers; we seepeople post it on social media and we may even say it ourselves. Sometimes, people are referring to their attitude and perspective, or thatthey will work harder at school or work. Some mean that they will spendmore time with Family and friends. Other times, it is meant to signify thatthey will change eating habits and make healthier choices. For a lot ofpeople, “new year, new me” means getting up, getting active and exercising on a regular basis.
Exercise. We all know the word. You may cringe at the very thought of itand begin thinking of any excuse in the book to switch the focus to something more enjoyable. On the other hand, there are some of youwho perk up and are ready to go at the first mention of the word. Somehave been in both situations, eager to exercise one day and avoiding thethought the next. It seems that every January more people than usual areeager to exercise on a regular basis. About a month or two into the New Year, however, the excitement for exercise begins to wear off. Resolutions become old news, “new year, new me” fades, exercise getsput on the back burner and people go back to their old ways. An exerciseroutine can be hard to establish, and with a busy lifestyle, can be evenharder to maintain.
Fort Knox Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation offers many different opportunities for exercise that may help you stay in the routineof exercising. From golfing at Lindsey Golf Course, to bowling at HoustonBowling Center, to swimming at Anderson Aquatics, there are countless
opportunities to get up and get moving. MWR also has four physical fitness centers: Gammon PFC, Natcher PFC, Otto PFC and Smith PFC,that offer more than just weights and treadmills to keep working out fun,diverse and challenging. A rock climbing wall, a new functional fitnessspace, an indoor swimming pool and TRX suspension training are a few examples of what these gyms have to offer.
With fitness classes ranging from Zumba, to cycling, to circuit and resistance training, there is sure to be a class that aligns with your interests.Classes can be beneficial because there are others going through theexact thing you are going through and are able to motivate you. If playing sports is more in your realm of the workout world, Natcher PFChas three full-sized basketball courts available for both basketball, and volleyball, and two racquetball courts. Indoor volleyball intramurals alsobegin in February, offering a fun and competitive way to get moving. If actual exercise, in any form, isn’t for you, three of the four gyms alsohave saunas where you can sit and open your pores and sweat out all theimpurities of your body. Sitting in a sauna is also proven to help with anti-viral activity, weight loss, improved circulation and skin conditioning.
If “new year, new me” means exercising for you, I encourage you to seewhat MWR facilities have to offer. Get a personal trainer, join a class orjust dive right in yourself - whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Remember, start slow and don’t set unrealistic goals. Find ways to makeexercising fun and it will more easily stay part of your weekly routine forthe entire year. Remember, working out is not necessarily about losingweight. It is about having more energy, feeling better about yourself andbeing healthy.
Aren’t you excited to see the new you?

By Chris Nelson, Manager, Automotive Skills and Service Center
I volunteered to write this article and now wonder what to write.It should be fairly easy to come up with some sort of technicalautomotive jargon that most readers won’t understand, afterworking in the automotive repair and service industry, both asa Soldier and a civilian for the past 40 years.
The easiest place to start is with the basics. As I meet and greetour patrons in the course of managing the Auto Craft Shop I hear many times from visitors to our facility, “I did not knowyou fixed cars,” “Where is the AAFEES auto repair facility,” “Yousell tires, I did not know that,” and those type questions go onand on. The Automotive Skills and Service Center is your facility. You have a 42 bay facility for automotiv e service and repairs for the self-helper. Included in the facility are lifts, handand special tools, advice and guidance from on site ASE Certified technicians. You also have a place to dispose of oil,hazardous materials (automotive components) and scrap metal.
We offer some basic automotive skills training and special ordering of parts, which may be required to help you along withyour individual projects. Our staff is here to help.
For those of you that have no desire or time to work on yourcars and trucks, we offer a full service repair shop within thesame facility. This area of the facility has 10 established bays,lifts, state of the art tire balancers, diagnostic tools and readers,alignment machines, and three technicians and two vehicle servicers. We add to your vehicle support and provide the following repairs and services: Oil Changes, Tire Rotation and Balance, Alignments, Engine Diagnostics (check enginelight on), Steering and Suspension Repairs, Heating and AirConditioning Diagnostics and Repairs. We also service and repair all Brake Systems. Additionally, our contracted parts suppliers provide a 90-95% same day delivery for all specialorder parts. We also stock over 200 items including: oils, lubricants, wiper blades, fluids and tires.
Brakes and tires are one of our biggest sellers. We stock mostof the common sizes and can get specialty tires from our twosuppliers. Purchasing our tires includes free mounting and balancing. Additionally, we offer free tire repair, rotation andbalance for the life of the tire when brought back to the facility.
Our prices are very competitive with automotive repair andservice facilities not located on Post. I think we are the bestgame in town. Come in, or, call and check us out and judge for yourself.
We are located at 706 Spearhead Division Avenue, Bldg. 1054.Our hours of operation are Tuesday – Friday 7:30 a.m. - 4:30p.m., and Saturday 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. We are closed on Sundays and National Holidays. For questions or more information, call (502) 624-5338.

Over the past ten years Army Community Service (ACS) Financial Counselors have met with thousands of Soldiers, Family members, Retirees and Civilian employees about their finances and how they control their money, or how it controlsthem. This time of year, the financial focus generally turns to tax returns and how the money will be spent; not how it will be saved. Taking a “Leap into Savings” might be just what you need!
Since 2003, the Department of Defense has joined forces with“America Saves,” the larger nation-wide campaign for all Americans, which seeks to motivate, encourage and support saving money, reducing debt and building wealth. In 2007, “Military Saves Campaign” was launched and since then over180,000 individuals have taken the pledge to save money and/orreduce debt.
For the past decade, Fort Knox ACS, Fort Knox Federal CreditUnion, and Armed Forces Bank have teamed up to promote, motivate and educate individuals on setting financial goals andmaking a plan, which includes saving. It is no surprise that everyone’s plan is not the same. Based on this knowledge, theFort Knox “Military Saves Team” created “Leap into Savings.”
Throughout the month of January, “The Team” invites you to join us as we “Leap into Savings.” Sign up at Event Brite –www.eventbrite.com and pick up your “Leap into Savings”tracker at Army Community Service, Armed Forces Bank, or FortKnox Federal Credit Union (Post locations). This automaticallyregisters you for a chance to win a prize. On your own, or with
the assistance of an ACS Finance Counselor, you have the monthof January to set personal goals for tracking spending, reducing debt and even planning for your tax return! Then LEAP into February on the first of the month, by challenging yourself for 28days, and putting your goals into action by using your tracker!It’s simple, really. You design your own plan - whether it is tospend for absolute needs, to start a savings plan, to pay downdebt, or just to get a closer look at how the money in your homeflows. You will use the month of February and the tracker to document your personal/family journey through the month.
Then, on February 29, join in the celebration of completing thischallenge with the Fort Knox “Military Saves Team”. Stop byBldg. 67, DFMWR Stewart Training Center, from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00PM for light refreshments and a second chance to win one ofseveral participation prizes. We are looking forward to hearingabout your “Leap Year” experience!
** Look for the Military Saves Team in January at the locationslisted below and pick up your tracker.January 7-Patriot Commons - 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.January 15-PX Lobby - 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.January 21-BARR Memorial Library - 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.January 26- Community Information Exchange (CIE) at the Saber

Saves Campaign,” the “Military Saves Campaign” is conducted in cooperation with the Consumer Federation
of America, and of the Department’s official financial readiness nonprofit partners.

Who doesn’t enjoy cuddling? Especially inthis cold month of January when you could use theextra warmth. Whether you cuddle with a Spouse,child, pet, friend or stuffed animal, cuddling has itsbenefits to your healthy and emotions.
1. Cuddling releases oxytocin: I am sure we have allheard of this hormone as this “feel good” endorphinand when you cuddle you get a huge dose of it.
2. Cuddling boosts your immune system: After learning this fact, I want to start cuddling up with mycat a bit more. Those feel good hormones we talkedabout earlier? When released, it makes you feel invincible and it also increases productions of otherhormones that help fight infection. Basically, you feelway too good to ever get sick. A snuggle a day keepsthe doctors away.
3. Cuddling relieves pain: Again, that awesome oxytocin comes into play. The hormone helps to decrease your levels of pain. The next time I have aheadache, I better curl up on the couch with a few besties.
4. Cuddling helps deepen your relationship: Touch isvery important in relationships. Try coming home fromwork or a stressful situation and cuddling with yourpartner for 10 minutes. This will not only give you smallbreak from the stress and worry but will also help indeepening your relationship. Bonus: more oxytocin!
5. Cuddling helps women bond: I keep bringing up this oxytocin thing and for women it has an added bonus. It’s also released during childbirth andbreastfeeding. For women, the chemical helps themrelax and sleep easier which can be harder after givingbirth. More sleep? Who doesn't want that?
6. Cuddling reduces social anxiety: That wonderfulhormone inspires positive thinking. Even snuggling assimplistic as a hug can help you relax socially. Thinkabout walking into a gathering where you only knowone person. If that person gives you a hug upon walking in, you are more likely to be social and outgoing during the event. This really makes sense tome when I think about all the times I have wanted tohold a friend’s hand whenever they take me to meetnew people or to a new place.
7. Cuddling reduces stress: All those feel-good feelings from oxytocin will help you to feel lessstressed. This may seem obvious but it’s important to list because stress has so many negative effects onour body. Anything that helps reduce our stress levels should done more often. Ready to snuggle up inbed yet?
8. Cuddling lowers your risk of heart disease: With allthe things that cause heart disease, it only makessense to add in something to help lower it. Cuddlinglowers heart disease because oxytocin makes you happier and as result your blood pressure goes down.Your heart doesn’t have to work as hard so you will behealthier. Give your heart some rest!
9. Cuddling doesn’t have a definition: As I mentionedbefore, you can cuddle with your child, pet, a stuffedanimal and even yourself. You don’ t have to have a romantic partner to enjoy the benefits of cuddling.Whenever I hang out with my video gaming friends,we often sit in a row on the couch, resting our headson each other’s shoulders and keeping each otherwarm. You can cuddle with yourself by giving yourselfa neck rub or curling up under some blankets.
However you choose to snuggle, make sureyou do it often. That hormone oxytocin seems to havea lot of pretty great benefits. Cuddling has alwaysbeen one of my favorite things to do but now it hasalso become a part of my health routine!

NATIONAL MENTORING MONTHBy Opportunity Knox Contributor
How true it is that the mostsuccessful and aspiring ofworld leaders embraced thepresence of role models intheir lives, as well as overallguidance and direction. Thevery presence of mentors andthe knowledge they had tooffer, contributed greatly tothe success of manyrenowned performers or leaders. The time, energy, andeffort that goes into being amentor is invaluable to bothyourself as a mentor, and thatspecial someone you chooseto guide and influence. Nowadays, mentoring is an important element in the lives of so many people, and a way of lifethat offers endless rewards - all of which is displayed and honoredduring National Mentoring Month.
The primary role of a mentor is to foster insight, enhance growth,and present important knowledge that will directly affect the life ofa chosen protégé. Though people typically have peers in their lives that support and guide them, specialized coaching and one-on-one guidance and nurturing that is necessary for the lessexperienced “student” to advance, comes neatly in the form of adedicated mentor. A mentor is one who is both successful and well respected in life, and is willing to share their own personalknowledge and self-improvement techniques with those in searchof that same level of success and respect.
Along with mentoring comes aplethora of benefits. First andforemost, mentoring allows youto enhance both the professionaland personal growth of a youngprotégé. With your years of experience and all the knowl-edge you have acquired, how rewarding it is for you to challenge the less experiencedmind to think and analyze in acompletely new way. Though theyoung protégé has much to learnand all to gain, the mentor enjoysan array of positive benefits as well.
Mentoring allows you the opportunity to strengthen andenhance your own coaching
techniques and your special leadership skills by interacting with individuals with varied histories, personalities, and backgrounds. In addition, the role ofthe mentor is to lead by setting a good example. In doing so, youstrive to perfect your own leadership skills and improve both yourpresentation and overall performance.
Your very efforts are driven by your personal desire to succeed in improving the life of a young protégé and, therefore, you, as a mentor, experience levels of personal commitment and satisfaction as well.
By immersing yourself in successful mentoring acts, you can thenturn around and establish a mentoring program for your companyof employment, or even your community. Newly established mentoring programs can then work to develop the minds and experience levels of young people whether in the workplace or inthe community.
The Army has recently established the Centralized Mentoring Program to help employees broaden skills and progress in theircareers. The program matches qualified mentors with applicantsthroughout the organization worldwide. Mentors and applicantsdo not have to be located at the same garrison. This program allows experienced employees the opportunity to provide leadership and management skills to less experienced employeesto in turn help further the Army’s reputation and presence going forward.
Mentoring is not an act that should be taken lightly. It is an incredibly big decision to make, and one that will have a tremendous impact on not only your life, but on the life of theyoung protégé you elect to mentor. Certainly mentoring is a rewarding experience for everyone involved, and indeed the benefits are well worth all your time, energy, and efforts.
