At 61 with two cardiac stents and 91 kg, I thought my active days were over. My 8-year-old grandson Aarav disagreed. He asked me to walk with him every morning. That 10-minute walk around our compound was the beginning of everything. I found the FitIndia senior wellness programme, made friends I now consider family, and lost 19 kg in 14 months. At 63 I crossed the finish line of my first 5K charity walk with Aarav running beside me. It is never too late.
