SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii -- The 26-week Performance Triad challenge is now entering its final month.

There are still many tips and insights to help meet sleep, activity and nutrition goals.

-- Sleep Goal

Try exercising earlier in the day (at least three hours before you go to bed) if you have difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep after nighttime exercise.

-- Activity Goal

Make sure that you stretch before and after each workout. Breath regularly throughout the exercises.

-- Nutrition Goal

Check the Nutrition Facts label for beverages, too. Look out for total sugar, fat and calories.

-- Nutrition Online Support

Try a food label website or app for your smartphone. Kids particularly like to use the Fooducate App found on www.Fooducate.com. This free app will grade food products with a letter grade and provide alternative products that score higher.
