"I work all day, should I exercise?"

There is a mantra of medical science, 'It is better to be healthy than to seek treatment after getting sick.'

How to stay healthy? The ancestors have already searched for the answer to this. Also, he has shown successful results by practicing it in his life. It has three formulas - correct diet, Vihara and thought.

It is said that proper diet, routine and thinking keeps people healthy. In this, physical exercise is considered indispensable. Despite knowing that exercise is very useful for health, most people do not show effort to exercise.

Some people say, 'I am not sick, I am strong. Why exercise?'

Some say, 'I am strong. I don't need exercise.'

Some people say, 'You are not old, why do you have to exercise now?'

Some say, 'I am working all day. My body is not inactive. Should I exercise?'

The fourth question is stuck in the minds of many. They think, 'I am a person who does physical work all day. He is doing something. I don't need exercise.

Is this correct? Do physical laborers not need to exercise? Is exercise and labor the same?

Physical activity or an active life is better than being inactive. But this is not enough. Therefore, exercise is equally necessary for those who do manual labor. Because exercise makes the body function properly.

According to the nature of work, we are doing similar activities. In such a situation, if one part is functioning properly, the other part may be inactive. Similarly, sometimes we do less activity than the body needs and sometimes more.

There is no such imbalance in exercise. There is a fixed activity and a fixed time for exercise. Exercises are developed in such a way that they keep the entire body moving in the right manner and for the right duration.

Labor can also cause damage to some parts of the body. But exercise and yoga make the body fit, energetic and calm.
