Duchess Fergie: Fitness Pledge

The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson has pledged to don a bikini and run on the beach to show people that they can still be fit and healthy at the age of 50.  The Duchess will turn 50 next October so as of this week she began her training with the help of soccer legend David Beckham, whose management team found her a personal fitness trainer.

This one-time royal is now a motivational speaker and has a history of leading a healthy lifestyle.  Before, she even served in the US as spokeswoman for Weight Watchers International.

For Fergie’s fit at 50 run she has mentioned Bondi Beach in Australia as a possible location claiming that Australians have no excuse not to be fit as they have great weather and great beaches for year-round exercise.

“I am going to come down and run along a beach at 50 and be football fit,” the Duchess said.  ”So when I get to 50 on October 15th, I will be running down that beach, football fit in my small black bikini. When it happens, you will know about it. I’m having the world’s press there to see me football fit and then you can put me on a football ground and make me run up and down it.”

When it comes to health Fergie is shocked to think that cardiovascular disease is number one on the list of cause of deaths around the globe.  She continues,

“Firstly, I hate the word obese … I think that everybody has to do it for their own lifestyle to realise their own health.  They have to take things slowly and say, ‘I’m not doing this because I have to get into a pair of jeans, I need to do this because if I don’t I’m going to die of heart disease’.”

Sarah Ferguson has always been an inspiration to people all over the world and it’s wonderful to see that she has the goal to put lifelong fitness on the map at a global scale.
