Nollywood actress and politician, Tonto Dikeh, recently
opened up about her determination to live a
long and healthy life, despite
facing the challenge of having a ‘bad heart.’ Taking to her Instagram account
on a Thursday, she shared her thoughts and aspirations with her followers.
Tonto expressed that her primary purpose in life is to ensure
she can be there for her beloved son. To celebrate her birthday and make a
positive change, she made the decision to gift herself a membership to a gym.
At 38 years old, she acknowledged the presence of her heart condition and
admitted that it isn’t a pleasant experience. However, she shared that it was
her third day at the gym and already noticed improvements in her breathing,
pulse, and blood circulation, despite feeling overall discomfort. Her
determination and resolve stemmed from her strong desire to live a long and
healthy life for the sake of her son.
The actress also emphasized that she would always be someone
who appreciates the benefits of cosmetic surgery, including liposuction and
other procedures. However, she recognized that her substantial financial
investments in enhancing her body would be in vain without proper exercise and
the use of waist trainers, fajas, and similar fitness tools. With her own journey
serving as motivation, she encouraged her followers to find inspiration in her
story. Tonto openly admitted that she was the laziest woman when it came to
fitness, as laziness provided her comfort and familiarity. However, she
stressed that she was making a change by stepping out of her comfort zone and
taking action towards her fitness goals.
Tonto’s story serves as a reminder that even those who
struggle with maintaining a consistent fitness routine can find the strength
within themselves to make a positive change. Her determination to live a long
and healthy life for her son has become the driving force behind her commitment
to improving her overall well-being. By sharing her experiences and
vulnerability, she aims to inspire and motivate others to embark on their own
fitness journeys, regardless of their starting point.
