fitness for women

Good Morning dearies, we are starting with a new series of fitness for women. I have always aimed to inspire women to pick up some form of fitness. With this series we are going to interview women from different age groups and see how they have imbibed fitness in their routine and how it has helped them. I myself discovered fitness nine years back after I delivered my first kid and my motivation like most of us was weight loss. I had piled on quite a few kilos and started exercising to lose it. Slowly I saw the benefits beyond and it became a part of life. Today, I feel stronger, fitter and hopefully away from all ailments that can come at this age.

Today we are chatting up with Nancy, who hold your breath is 57 years and is an inspiration. She has a 26 years old son and is a homemaker. She is so close to being a senior citizen but so far from being labeled as one. Meet Nancy and decide for yourself :).

What was the main reason behind you to take up fitness? 

 I weighed  90 kgs at that time. I loved  walking  but  that  was  not  enough. I loved  eating  too. It  all  started  when  my  weight started  taking  a toll  on  my  health. I realised  I had  to lose  weight.  A lot of  it!

When did you get into fitness?
I was  50 when  I decided  to  loose  weight and live  a healthy  lifestyle. I consulted  a dietician  and changed  my  eating  habits while I continued  with  my  excersise  regime. All this helped  and I started  losing  weight.

Your fitness mantra?
I walk 8 kms  every  day, spend  an hour  in the  gym  working  out and at  the  moment I am also learning to swim. There was a time I was  scared  of  water. All this has helped me lose 31  kgs  in a span  of  3 years.

What difference do you feel between yourself and  friends at your age ? Do you feel younger, more flexible , body tautness etc.
I never  felt  so  good  in  my  whole  life .Women  and men  my  age  are proud  of  me  some  of them envy  me too :).

What according to you are the do’s and dont’s for women your age.
My  advice  is  if  I can do it so   can  you. Remember to stay  fit  don’t  overdo it.
Enjoy  the  food  you eat . Cheating  allowed  but  in limit
I am  57  now  and feel like a  20 year old.

That was a short dialogue with Nancy. What I learnt from Nancy was that it’s never to late to start on the fitness path. If you know of any inspiring women and stories do write to us at [email protected] and we might just publish it.

Signing off,

Yours Truly,

    Nancy, you are truly inpiring.
    It is indeed a pleasure to see such a lovely change in you and you look really amazing! Typically, this reminds me of the punjabi song…. lakk 28 kudi da, 47 weight kudi da 🙂

    My motto for life is “If you cannot defeat your friends in anything, defeat them in fitness”.

      Hey Priti,

      Fitness or workout is not something you start one and lose weight and then stop. It’s a lifestyle. How we bursh our teeth everyday, follow a skin routine? This is important for our body and health. Plus you need to eat healthy too if you want to feel and look good.
