Sedentary to being active at 45.

30 Transformational Inspiring Stories. Story No 22.                                               Health issues weaken our body physically and mentally too.They can make you fearful to live your life fully.Many a times we have seen people not doing things because they have had a health problem.Yes,we at Xersize encounter this very often.Clients fearful of lifting weights as they have oestoporosis,hypertension etc.Our fears stop us from experiencing life...going beyond our barriers.We live in our small comfortable world,wanting to do much more but not doing as we are fearful..what if this happens or that happens.Well,its important to be sensible and not fool hardy but taking risks is essential.I always say"Risk nahi liya toh jiya kya".Facing fears gives an access to freedom.                                                    So today,I share about a lady who was fearful of working out due to several ongoing health issues.High BP,Cholestrol,oestoporosis,thyroid,mood swings caused due to peri menopause.Neeta Shah 45 years old in 2005 a homemaker faced all these health problems and had never worked out.She was overweight and had a sedentary lifestyle.She wanted to exercise,lose weight,get healthy and fit but was fearful of exercising.Totally justified she was.We at Xersize believe Fitness For All -means exercises can be modified for every fitness level irrespective of age,weight,medical issues,fitness level and health problems.Its our ongoing endeavour to make people fall in love with exercising.Neeta surely had the desire to be fit and every goal starts first with a Desire.She had it and here we supported her to break the barrier,exercising in safe zone,a complete holistic well rounded exercise program was planned for her.Neeta followed it diligently,was candid and slowly all her fears went off.She lost nearly 15 kgs of body fat,blood pressure and cholestrol all under control.No aching knees and back,thyroid under control and she was totally transformed.Happy,confident and content post weight loss.She broke barriers at 45 started exercising,lost weight,transformed her body,changed her eating habits,her dress sense was different and above all was away from all the health issues.Regular exercise is Prehab and Rehab to all diseases.                   Today,after 10 years Neeta is leaner,lost more body fat and at peace with herself.Come what may,she never ever misses her workouts.Her mantra is"Acknowledge your fears but take actions to break them...Get up and Move."
