GYMMING OR OVERGYMMING


YOGA - 
Exercising with machines injures muscles and is not beneficial in the long run. Yoga works on your physical, mental emotional and spiritual levels while gymming works only on the physical body.


CARDIO -
Its foolish for a middle-aged person to hit the gym and start working out with weights and doing heavy exercised, If you are in your 20s, then you can do it. Above 30, you need to consult a doctor first and get prescribed physical activity appropriate to your heart's status.


ENDO -
Maximum physical exercise advisable is 45 minutes - above that, does not help to lose weight, and also put unnecessary strain on your body. For optimum heart health you need to relax and take it easy. Smile more.


PSYCH -
Gymming is good as regular exercise helps prevent obesity and increases endorphins. But obsessive gymming can lead to hypertension and weakness.
