5 Common Mistakes Guys Make When Being ‘Healthy’

We’ve been showing the Fit Bottomed Dudes all kinds of love this week for our fourth-annual FBD Week. And today, we want to drop some more healthy knowledge on ’em! Trying darn near every workout out there, we’ve learned a few things. Been around the healthy living block a time or two (or 100), and, well, we’ve noticed a few tweaks most guys could make to their lives to make them even fitter and healthier. So we FBGs put our noggins together, and here’s what we got: five common things that trip most boys up! (And, ladies, if you’re guilty of any of these, try our solutions!)

5 Mistakes Guys Make When It Comes to Their Health

1. You don’t go to the doctor. It’s a stereotype that dudes don’t like going to the doctor, but it’s one that we’ve found to be pretty darn true. (I’m looking at you, Ryan…)

Solution: If you haven’t been to the doctor in more than a year or have been putting off making an appointment, pick up the phone right now and do it! Preventive visits are legally required to be covered by insurance these days and are a great way to—as the name indicates—prevent any medical issues before they happen. Which may mean fewer doctors’ visits in the long haul. See? It just makes sense to go now!
