My weight concerns…
My waist line is becoming thick by about an inch or so. Though I am not obese, I am 3kgs over weight. Our physio said changing diet is not the solution and suggested physical exercise .Problem is, I have less physical work. Actually I wish to go jogging or to gym, but I have no time.
Our body needs physical work. Muscles have a tendency to grow when we exercise and deplete when we stop physical activity. These days most of the people are choosing professions that require less physical activity. Of course, the desk jobs too, consume energy, but they could not provide much physical work. Proper exercise is the key to digestion and therefore to good health. Gut becomes slow when we do no physical work at all, but eat lot of food.
Practicing Yoga asana or Yoga postures every day, helps to tone the body perfectly. Yoga postures seems simple but difficult to practice. With proper guidance one can easily do yoga asana. Some postures even consume more energy and help to reduce body weight. Remember Over weight causes Cardiac and Cancer problems.
Some people go to gym and practice vigorously to build muscles. But I have doubts over the methods suggested by trainers. Building pack of abs is not my choice. I want toned body that is simple, and yoga is best way to follow, considering my time constraints. Yoga also helps to develop concentration, which I require most.
Try to do some physical activity at the weekends at least. That helps you physically and promotes well being.
