I didn’t grow up as an athlete, and I didn’t start hiking or mountain climbing early in life. I began at 45, alongside a high-pressure tech career, family responsibilities, and the realities many women quietly carry. The journey was not linear. There were struggles, doubts, slow climbs, and moments of discomfort. And yet, I stayed. I learned. I grew to genuinely enjoy the process.
At 49, as a South Asian woman, nutritionist, and wellness consultant, I see fitness not as an aesthetic goal but as a foundation for longevity, mental resilience, and independence. Every hike, every climb in 2025 reminded me that fitness is deeply personal, and powerful when it becomes a lifestyle rather than a phase.
You don’t need to copy my path. You need to find yours. But you do need to start. Your future health, energy, and quality of life depend on the choices you make consistently today.
