YMCA Corner

YMCA Corner

After suffering a heart attack in 2012, Mike Olson knew things needed to change. When he started cardiac rehab, the doctors recommended walking and exercising for 30 minutes every other day. He joined the YMCA that fall and has continued coming even after his rehab was finished.

When asked about his condition during this time he said, “The doctors saw an improvement in my health. I lost 50 lbs, had more energy, felt stronger, and had better coordination.”

The Y is more than a gym. It’s a cause with a commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility. Mike first started giving back by participating in the board development committee and is now on the Board of Directors and head of the Aquatics/Program Committee this year.

If you have a Y story you would like to share with us please contact Anne Stewart at 712-623-2161 or by e-mail at astewart@mcymca.com.
