I am sure this will inspire many more youngsters to pursue fitness related activities.”

Tejasvi Surya : The Ironman 70.3 Goa, known for attracting athletes from over 50 countries, has become a premier event for athletes and fitness enthusiasts in India and across the World. The challenge involves a 1.9km swim, a 90km cycling segment, and a 21.1km run, covering a total distance of 113km. This is the ultimate test of one’s endurance, and physical and mental fitness. Over the last 4 months, I have trained rigorously to improve my fitness and as a result, am happy to share that I have completed this challenge! The inspiration itself goes back to #FitIndia initiative kickstarted by PM

@narendramodi ji, which helped me reflect on my fitness goals. As a young nation chasing big ambitions, we must nurture our physical fitness and become a more healthier nation. An endeavour to become fit also makes you more disciplined and confident, which improves chances of your success in any venture that you undertake. #FitIndia movement goes a long way in increasing this awareness and bringing more people on to fitness routines, that’s so essentially needed for our nation! As a finisher in this daunting challenge, I can attest to the young folks that fitness goals really push your boundaries, and make you a better individual. I appeal all fence sitters and perpetual planners to hop onto this journey and make progress!
