My daughter-in-law and I work out regularly.” I was 52 years old when I first went to the gym. It all started when I was diagnosed with severe knee and leg pain.”
“My son did a lot of research on the treatment and suggested that I start exercising. He owns a Madras Barbell gym. I, with my daughter-in-law, do weight lifting, squats, etc. Yes, it cured my pain. We, as a family, keep our bodies fit and healthy,” he further said.
