LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A Lincoln gym owner is sharing the benefits of leading a healthier lifestyle during National Men’s Health Month.
Mike Hahn, the owner of Body Fit Training near 14th Street and Pine Lake Road, said it’s important for people to maintain their health as they age.
“We’ve had a lot of members that maybe haven’t worked out in decades and, you know, for anybody whether it be men or women, you’re going to start losing strength after the decade of your thirties,” he said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said limiting alcohol consumption, avoiding smoking and reducing stress can also play a role in healthy living.
“It’s an investment in your health, whereas the higher up, you have that strength as you’re younger, the better off you’re going to be as you age,” Hahn said.
Hahn suggests that people should get involved in active living sooner rather than later.
“Physical fitness is crucial to a healthy body,” he said. “The earlier in life you start that, the better you’re going to have later on, but whether you’re 25, 45, 65, you still have the ability to improve your overall health and well-being with physical fitness.”
