IMAGES of a three-year-old with sixpack abs and toned biceps may seem startling to some people, but the boy’s mother insists it’s the result of her son’s love for all things physical, rather than a parent-mandated fitness regimen.
“I feed him as healthily as possible, but he always has his head in the fridge and loves ice cream,” Dash’s mother, Ursula, told Daily Mail.
“The most I can hope for at this stage is to feed him well and encourage him. Who knows what the future will hold?”

Ursula, who did not disclose her and her son’s last name, said she first noticed the beginning of a sixpack in her son when she was changing his nappy about six months ago. While she considers herself and Dash’s father, who was not identified, as reasonably fit, neither of them would say they’re fitness fanatics.

She said her son’s love for exercise came from his enjoyment of the outdoors.
“He’s outside every day, come rain or shine. I used to run with him in the pram when he was a baby, and as soon as he hit two [years old], I took him out on what it thought would be a gentle jog,” she told Daily Mail. “Dash ended up running four kilometres.”
Ursula, who lives in Canberra, said she considers herself blessed to have such a healthy child. She said doctors predicted Dash would be born two weeks premature, but he ended up being born two weeks late and weighing 4.5kg.

“He started walking at 10 and a half months, has been climbing from the beginning, and does constant laps of the kitchen, climbing the coffee tables and kitchen sides — he has this constant energy,” Ursula said.
Ursula documents her son’s tumbles and flips on an Instagram account, @musclylittlemonster, that has more than 600 followers.
She said that she would love for her son to continue being active, but she said she understands the most important thing is that he’s healthy.
