Catch her in action on Circle Watch here!When did you start your fitness journey?
When my kids started schooling, I told myself I need to lose weight and be healthier, seeing as I had put on 15 kg after 2 pregnancies. To that end, I started exercising regularly and managed to achieve my goal in a year.
After much encouragement from my instructor and friends, I decided to become an instructor myself, despite already being 50 years of age.
It has been a tremendous journey to be able to teach in the Sports Centre, and now to host my personal Zoom Class. I've learnt a lot and never expected to be able to achieve all these within this year.
Well said! Immy has, through her own actions, proven to us all that no age is too late when it comes to fitness. Masters and Seniors should definitely self-care so as to age well. Don’t miss out on industry experts’ advice on the topic in ActiveHealth’s latest series of webinars!
