Esther Musila has sent a firm message to social media critics who claim her intense fitness regime is merely an effort to please her husband. The content creator took to Facebook to address "busy bodies" after videos and photos of her recent gym sessions went viral.
Musila, who is married to Kenyan gospel singer Guardian Angel, made it clear that her health journey is a personal commitment. She dismissed the idea that she is trying to "keep up" with her younger spouse.
A long-term commitment to health
For Musila, physical activity is not a recent trend. She explained that exercise has been a core part of her life for a long time. She expressed gratitude to herself for the years of hard work and consistency she has invested in her body.
Maintaining discipline during lockdown
The source reveals that Musila’s dedication was tested during the global pandemic. When the COVID-19 lockdown began in 2020, gyms across the country were forced to close their doors.
Rather than stopping her routine, Musila described herself as a "fitness addict" who found ways to adapt. She transitioned to online classes and improvised workouts at home to maintain her physical condition.
"When you love yourself and do things for you, the best part of it is that the gains are yours."
Addressing the changes of age
Musila also spoke candidly about the biological changes women face as they get older. She noted that when women reach a certain age, hormones can fluctuate significantly.
She acknowledged that weight gain can happen due to "TLC" (tender loving care), but she believes in taking personal responsibility for one’s physique. Instead of complaining when her body does not look the way she wants, she chooses to "get into action."
A message for the "busy bodies"
The Facebook post ended with a challenge to those criticizing her from the sidelines. Musila pointed out that there are many free resources available for those who cannot afford a gym membership.
She concluded by reinforcing her belief in self-love and the "refreshing" feeling of being happy with oneself. Her final sign-off to the critics was a confident assertion of her results: "Body will always be tea!"
