Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 22-year-old man. Could you provide an overview of the specific physical health benefits gained from regular exercise? How does exercise contribute to maintaining cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal strength, and overall physical fitness? How does exercise help maintain mental health and emotional well-being? What are the different types of exercise, including aerobic, strength training, flexibility, and balance exercises? How do these types of exercises contribute to overall fitness, and are there specific recommendations for incorporating them into a routine?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

At the age of 22, engaging in the correct activities is important to avoid muscle loss and improve body composition. Regular cardiovascular activity, such as jogging, swimming, and cycling, can help, but to get started, establish essential endurance.

Check these guidelines:

  1. Get up and stretch yourself every 45 minutes to one hour, as sitting for long periods of time can be damaging to our posture. At work, walk the length of the office every hour or two to keep your back happy, your muscles supple, and your blood circulating.

  2. Indulge in some deep breathing exercises; it will help you keep calm or even put you to sleep. Practicing some pranayam can surely help here.

  3. Plan your week in advance so that your travel time becomes your rest day.

  4. Use the long corridors and long waits for a quick, brisk walk in airports and stations. Take stairs rather than escalators. After all, you have to sit for hours for work, so make the most of the time you have while you wait at the station.

  5. If you are using a car, park your car away from your destination and try to walk.

After 15 days of being active, start with small, home-based workouts like:

  1. Five minutes of spot jogging.

  2. Five minutes of stretching.

  3. Five minutes of brisk walking.

  4. Two minutes of leg raises.

  5. Five push-ups.

Then gradually go back to adding weights, etc.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
