Walking exercise - How far will it take in Fitness…!!

Pune being a major IT hub, most of them work in IT companies.
Most of them make business trips to west and perform excellent in profession. In all this transition he or she tries to pursue hobby, get information through internet (including Fitness sometimes), which is good, but still look banal, not cool like our counterpart colleagues. Why? Because no time for fitness. Iam explicitly pointing to Marathi manus.

Why the health clubs are mostly crowded by north Indians and south Indians in majority (which is known to everyone)?
Why such people perform better in business than a Maharashtrian? Have you found an answer? Why we make excuses to exercises and find time to relax ?

As age progresses our bodies become so dysfunctional that even sneezing can cause slip disc. I have seen people having diabetics at the age of 25!!

Socrates rightly said,
“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable”


Disadvantages of Walking : -

1) People who have been doing walking for years usually have little change in weight, but with strict diet.
2) Damaged Knees.
3) Loss of muscle (which is metabolically active tissue)

In this competition world if we have to stand out, perform out of box, we have to think more than walking. Exercises or activity should be mindful; there should be mind/muscle link to create magic in your work.

All the movements which we perform in daily living should be at ease, activities like carrying heavy luggage, sudden turning movements, sudden bending movements, furniture shifting, playing/picking up baby from floor (all this are extended kinetic movements) which can be trained through functional exercises.

When you teach your CNS (Central Nervous System) to perform different tasks (different exercise club together) at a time through exercise, your CNS performs much better in daily living, will walking help this??

Will walking help to acheive 5 components of Fitness, namely
1) Cardiovascular endurance
2) Muscular endurance
3) Musculoskeletal strength
4) Ideal body composition
5) Flexibilty

My dear friends look beyond what can be seen, please get involved with weight training and different functional exercises which involves patterns of multi muscle and multi joint movement that make you physically move with confidence and freedom through the situations of everyday life.
