Nancy - Inspired Mum

My name is Nancy, mother of 2 daughters. I have a typical working and housewife life and seldom do sport.  I need to take care of my family after work and my eldest daughter was physically weak and a picky eater, so she needed extra care. That’s why I seldom do sports since I had my own family.

My daughter finds it funny to see me standing on the scale and complaining about my weight, but then we workout together. I gained some weight since that, and I do mind about my weight numbers but I never worked on it. I notice that my daughter has been getting healthier since she started weight training and fitness cardio exercises 2 years ago, When they were small, I encouraged them to be active, and now the situation changed. She pushes me to workout. At that moment, I realised that I had been ignoring my health for a long time, so we started doing cardio fitness exercises together.

I used to take care of my daughters’ health, now it is the other way around. Parents are not the only teachers in the family; actually, we can learn from our kids as well. My daughter notices that some parts of my body need to improve and she tries to work on it with me. I am so happy to see my daughter establish a healthy sporty lifestyle at this young age, which I should have built.

I am blessed that I am getting stronger together with my children. I haven’t been doing fitness cardio for so long, but it is never too late to start! I am grateful that my daughter is not only able to take care of her own health, but also that of others’. I guess seeing children be healthy is the wish of all mums in the world. I am going to be an athlete, but I am training to be strong enough to work out with my children and even with my grandchildren in the future.
