Former President of the Republic of Ghana, Flight Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings, has said on camera that he bitterly regrets not taking exercising a little more seriously.
JJ Rawlings, as he affectionately called, made the rather thought-provoking statement during a meetup with Nana Aba Anamoah in a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the Facebook handle of GHOne TV.
Nana Aba, who celebrated her birthday just some days earlier, was very excited for the former president and decided to give him an unscripted interview.

Nana Aba asked JJ how it feels like to be 73, to which the former president replied, "it feels really great but it could have been much better."
The experienced TV presenter did not allow that statement to slide without any clarification and thus, she quickly asked JJ what could have made his 73rd birthday better.
Rawlings, who is known to be plain and transparent with his opinions and thoughts revealed that he was struggling in body due to the fact that he did not take exercising very seriously when he was much younger.
