Having said that, while it may be OK to follow one type of exercise exclusively n the short-term, it is probably a bad idea in the long run. I believe long-term goals should revolve around overall fitness.<br /><br /><b>@Shuaib</b>, <br /><i>I often find people taking to exercise late i.e. when they have already lost health, or Shape</i> <br /><br />Touche :)<br /><br />That apart, you do raise a lot of interesting points. I guess one does need to choose their workout program based on how fit one already is.<br /><br />And my guess is that docs play it safer than they need to. Unless you see a doc who specializes in sport/fitness medicine.Chiranth Channappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105862487907754218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18564891.post-90073302236063638322011-09-26T12:02:53.177+05:302011-09-26T12:02:53.177+05:30Hi Chiranth,
Indeed thoughtful, and thought provok...Hi Chiranth,<br />Indeed thoughtful, and thought provoking insights these.<br /><br />Brings me to ask:<br />1. When (age, situation) should one start to exercise?<br /><br />2. Why should one exercise? or rather what are some good objectives to exercise?<br /><br />3. How much exercise, and what type of exercise does one need - I'm certain that it's different for different objectives and different stages?<br /><br /><br />I often find people taking to exercise late i.e. when they have already lost health, or Shape - have grown an unpleasant paunch, and want to look like they did when they were 20 something - often falling prey to legends and myths. <br />And I must add leading to the dissolution from impatiens, and misinformation.. <br /><br />I would also like to ask the medical practitioners as to what their issues are with weight training, I'm sure you would find difference in opinions from General Physicians and Orthopedics..<br /><br />I've heard opinions (not necessarily limited to medical practitioners) both ways:<br />- "Exercising with weights is unnatural, you don't need it unless your profession demands it.. it will cause problems later in life..".<br /><br />- "Your body has been designed to move and function in ranges apart from what you normally put it through in a typical office/home day, therefore exercise in the other ranges.." <br /><br />Thanks for the interesting post, I wish that you keep it up..<br /><br />Keep Fit! Have a Happy Life!<br />Regards,<br />ShuaibShuaibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12790662997935077581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18564891.post-48120582526593754342011-09-26T11:29:19.843+05:302011-09-26T11:29:19.843+05:30Good one Chiranth.

For me, I thought just walking across the office and few floors is good enough! :)Anyways on a serious note, I guess it depends on the objective and the nature of activities that entails going forward for the individual that determine the current work outs. It is another matter, like insurance, that we strengthen the body to be able to withstand some unforeseen activities in the future. I'm a perpetual beginner, so think I can not advise much!Sridharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424112528629872072noreply@blogger.com
