Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Strength Training Experience
"A few years ago, I had pretty much given up on ever having a strong back. I genuinely thought it just wasn't in my genes. I'd see other people with great backs and think, 'Yeah, that's not going to be me,'" the actor captioned the post.
But she realised that she was wrong, and she could not be happier for being proven wrong. "So yes, I'm going to show it off now, because the work it took to get here was intense," the caption further read.
"Showing up on days when I didn't feel like it, when nothing seemed to be changing, when it would've been easier to quit," the Yashoda actor shared.
"Building muscle is so important. Not just for how you look, but for how you live, how you move, how you age. As you get older, strength training needs to become your best friend," she added.
"Strength training did more for me than anything else. It taught me discipline, patience, and that "not in the genes" is just an excuse we repeat until we finally prove ourselves wrong," Samantha wrote, sharing her journey.
She also uplifted her fans and asked people not to give up. "Your future self will be so grateful you kept going," she added.
