Others inspire you to throw out every excuse you\u2019ve ever made about age and fitness. <a ref=\"dofollow\" data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#Magazines#href\" href=\"https:\/\/m.economictimes.com\/topic\/milind-soman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Milind Soman<\/a>\u2019s latest Instagram video manages to do both \u2014 but this time, the real star isn\u2019t the 59-year-old actor himself. It\u2019s his 86-year-old mother, Usha Soman, whose agility and energy have left the internet in awe. Together, they\u2019ve proved that fitness isn\u2019t just a phase or a fad \u2014 it\u2019s a way of life.<\/p>\n<p> In a video shared on Friday, Milind can be seen skipping rope alongside his mother and wife, Ankita Konwar, somewhere in the misty hills. In the caption, Milind mentioned that it was a family skipping session, adding that his mother, now 86, skips every day along with practising yoga and other movements, and wished everyone a long, healthy, and happy life.<\/p>\n<p> The clip captures a picturesque moment on a balcony or terrace overlooking a lush valley, mist swirling in the background. But the real beauty lies in the synchronicity between Milind and Usha as they hop in perfect rhythm. While Milind has long been celebrated as a fitness idol, it\u2019s clear he comes from a family where discipline, movement, and health are second nature.<br \/>Internet reactsActress Nimrat Kaur called it the best visual and life treat. Another person remarked that fitness clearly runs in the family and sent love to Milind\u2019s mother. Many praised Usha Soman\u2019s energy and spirit, with one describing her as a joy to behold and another calling her skipping at 86 truly incredible. Several commenters said the family is an inspiration to all age groups, while others admired Aai\u2019s humility and simplicity, noting that Milind clearly inherits these qualities from her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some people inspire you to hit the gym.
