What is the secret to lifelong fitness? How does one stay fresh, agile and open to new challenges, in body and mind, at every age?
To find answers to these questions, this book traces the journeys of three remarkable individuals – Usha Soman, 84, her son, Milind Soman, 58, and his wife, Ankita Konwar, 32, who arguably make up India’s first family of fitness.
Told with rare candour in their own voices, Usha, Milind and Ankita’s stories of the very different paths they took to find what works for each of them – in terms of food, exercise or dealing with physical and mental challenges – demonstrate their deeply held conviction: when it comes to your body, you are the only expert.
Steering clear of quick fixes and generic diet and fitness regimens, they urge each of us to do as they have done – go inwards to find our own unique motivations for well-being, before we align our lifestyles to achieve it.
Brilliantly narrated by gifted storyteller Roopa Pai, and packed with authentic, lived insights, this is a health and fitness book like no other.
