Super Fit at 60 Mena!

30 Transformational Inspiring stories. Story No 3.                                           Today is a real special and very inspiring story of Mena Desai.At an age of 55,most people do not think of joining a gym and start with serious training.Mena is a homemaker,mother of two and grandmom of four.Her life has been  around her family's well being and happiness.She took on getting fit around 10 years ago.She ran her first Marathon at the age of 59 years and completed it a couple of minutes above the 3 hr mark.Next year,she was determined to complete it faster and did so.At 60,she underwent vigourous training and followed an optimum nutrition plan.She is serious about her exercise performance,wants to lift the bar and never ever has reasons not to workout.Menaji,as I call her has given up on late night socialising prior to marathon run.She has been felicitated by several clubs on her achievement.While undergoing a medical stress test at Hinduja hospital,the doctors were surprised with her stamina and her levels of HDL..the good cholestrol being par excellence.She says i run for myself and has a great support from her better half for the same.Ever smiling,focussed and smiling Menaji is not the regular Dadi..A true inspiration!She is a regular gymmer and does yoga for keeping her body flexible and muscles supple.                                Her mantra is:follow your instructor's guidance in full integrity and workout daily..Find your Balance and Go ahead!!
