Oskido celebrates fitness milestone after nailing first pull-up in three years
Veteran Music Producer Oskido Proves Persistence Pays Off—Even in Fitness
Legendary hitmaker Oskido recently celebrated a major fitness milestone, showing that dedication yields results—both in the studio and the gym.
The Let’s Dance star took to Instagram to share his triumph: completing his first pull-up after years of effort. In a video posted to his page, Oskido is seen conquering the challenging exercise, his joy evident as he powers through the movement.
Reflecting on his journey, he captioned the clip with an inspiring message: *“I did my first pull-up in 3 years! Don’t stop at step 10—your breakthrough might be step 11.”*
His achievement resonated with fans, who flooded the comments with praise for his perseverance and motivational spirit.
While pull-ups may seem effortless for seasoned gym enthusiasts, certified fitness trainer Mothusi Maepa emphasizes that they’re among the toughest bodyweight exercises.
“If your core, arms, shoulders, or back muscles are weak, pull-ups will be a struggle,” Maepa explains. “Excess weight can also make them more challenging.”
For those inspired by Oskido’s progress, Maepa recommends a structured approach: strength training, resistance exercises, and weight management. He advises beginners to start with assisted pull-up machines before attempting unassisted reps.
“Consistency is key—gradual improvement leads to success,” he adds.
Oskido’s story is a powerful reminder that breakthroughs come to those who keep pushing—one rep at a time.
