Who knew that one day a president of a country, in this case, Uganda would inspire me to resume taking physical exercise seriously???
It is a quarter to 7 am and I am here fresh from jogging, something I last did in late January!!
I have always heard a statement that says that motivation comes from many directions or places...
I cannot fucking believe that the president of Uganda Mr Museveni has made me resume my jogging routine!!
I last jogged in January of this year and I have been lazy ever since to resume the routine.
For starters, the president of Uganda is 75 years old and guess what he posted a video on his social media handles where he had made 40 fucking pushups!!! Yes, 40 pushups.
For proof, you can see him doing the pushups in this Tweet below.

Now you can argue all you want that he did not make proper pushups, he did not lift his whole body bla bla.
You have a right to say whatever the fuck you want about his pushups, but remember he is 75 years old!
The best way of finding out whether he did not do the proper pushups is by going on the floor and doing them yourself!!!
Yes, if you truly believe, he did not make the right pushups, the president challenged folks to record their own videos and post on Twitter, maybe there might be a reward who knows hahaha.
I believe many folks are in their 20s who cannot make even 10 pushups !!
In the video above, he challenges the countrymen and woman to stay fit and motivates us to stay fit and healthy even at home.
I did what every reasonable person would do and that is getting on the floor to make some pushups.
I was shocked that I managed only 35 pushups, 5 less than what a 75-year-old made, I felt disappointed in myself!!!
I resolved there and then to resume my jogging routine so that I could start being fit again.
As you can see from the first photo above, I did jog today and so far not bad.
My Google Fit App recorded 2.6KM in 20minutes and I feel good because I did jog today.
The App also shows that my pace was 8.15/km.
And btw, I did pushups after jogging and I struggled from the 37 to the 40th mark hahaha.
So, folks, motivation or inspiration comes from many directions and mine today came from the president of the country.
I will now try to at least jog 3 times in a week as I used to do in the past, have a great day.
Btw you can also test yourself out by doing some pushups and see how close or far you are to the president hahaha.
Love
