Move your body! It’s the mantra I’ve lived by since childhood, thanks to my dad’s dedication to fitness. Growing up watching him hit the gym daily instilled in me the importance of staying active. Even my brother jumped on the fitness train early, sporting a ripped physique by the age of 18! Inspired by my family’s example, I started my own exercise routine at the age of 10, beginning with morning skipping sessions that continued for years.
Fast forward to today, and exercise is still a vital part of my life. From hitting the gym to swimming during the summer months, I’ve explored various forms of physical activity. But as I’ve grown older, I’ve come to realise that health isn’t just about being skinny; it’s about building muscle, eating well, and prioritising longevity.
My current routine includes three HIIT workouts per week, long runs or walks on weekends, and daily 5km walks. And this June, I’ve challenged myself to exercise every single day, documenting my journey on my TikTok account. Despite the occasional struggle to roll out of bed in the morning, the sense of accomplishment after completing a workout is unparalleled. I’m addicted to that feeling!
Chhori has recently joined my fitness journey, and I couldn’t be more proud! She’s been hitting the treadmill for 30 minutes or more every day, showcasing an incredible level of dedication and commitment at such a young age. Witnessing her enthusiasm for staying active fills me with immense pride, and I hope this becomes a regular part of her lifestyle as she grows older. It’s moments like these that remind me of the importance of setting a positive example within the family.
So, how do you keep yourself active? What motivates you to stay on track with your fitness goals? Let’s inspire each other to keep moving and embrace the joy of exercise!
