A Maltese man is inspiring others to become more active after sharing how he went from describing himself as a “couch potato” to completing 10 kilometres every single day.
Roderick Saveba shared an update about his fitness journey on social media, encouraging anyone considering making a lifestyle change to stop waiting and begin today.
“Get up from there and start today,” he wrote in Maltese.
Rather than expecting people to immediately take on the same distance, Roderick recommended beginning with just 10 or 15 minutes of activity each day and gradually building from there.
He also highlighted the importance of making sensible changes to your diet, explaining that consistent exercise and improved eating habits can eventually produce noticeable results.
Roderick acknowledged that changing your lifestyle is not always easy, but urged others not to become discouraged when progress takes time.
“If I did it, you can do it too,” he added, ending his message with another simple reminder: start today.
His post has since received more than 100 reactions, with people congratulating him on his commitment and transformation.
Roderick’s journey is a powerful reminder that meaningful progress does not necessarily begin with a major challenge. Sometimes, it starts with a few minutes of movement and the decision to remain consistent.
Well done, Roderick and keep going!
