Can running every day really transform your body
“At the start of January 2025, I went for a health checkup, and the report came back with one word I didn’t want to see: ‘Obese,’” he shared. “The doctor told me I had a fatty liver issue, and my visceral fat reading was slightly high. I knew I had to do something about it, so I challenged myself to a 100-day running challenge.”
What followed was a rigorous routine: running 10km every day. He did take a short three-day COVID break on Day 53, but otherwise, he stayed consistent.

Today is always a good day to start exercising. Tomorrow, I never delay my food cravings, so why delay exercising? Because I am the stone. And I am the sculptor.”
