Fitness Is About Discipline And Respect : Samantha

A day after she accepted the fitness challenge from Naga Chaitanya, Samantha has posted a video of herself trying to do pull ups in the gym. But what was more inspiring is about how she turned it into a motivational talk about the importance she gives to fitness in her life.

The actress stated that for her, fitness wasn’t about looking good. Instead, Samantha confessed that she looks as fitness as a matter of discipline, respect, confidence and strength. “For years, everytime my trainer asked me to do pull ups, I used to give a lot of excuses to avoid it. Although this is far from being a perfect pull up, I decided to give it a try. You are never too old to change,” Samantha said in her Instagram video.

The actress, in turn, nominated Upasan Kamineni, Rakul Preet and Shilpa Reddy to continue the fitness challenge.

For years every time my trainer said ‘pull up’ I would fake a head ache , a bad day at work ,a stomach ache, tooth ache, my non-existent puppy is terribly sick and I have to leave blah blah blah . So although this is far from a pull up I am glad that I finally have decided to try. We are never too old to change . Fitness for me has never been about looking good , it is about discipline , respect , confidence and strength . #humfittohindiafit I challenge @upasanakaminenikonidela @shilpareddy.official and @rakulpreet
