I think jogging is probably one of the best exercises, maybe not to just lose weight but also to maintain health. Even walking is good. People often do a lot of exercise methods such as weight lifting, and random movements and such but i think jogging/walking is the best, it helps you 'free' your mind, and it helps you with breathing and stuff. I think people have problems with running because they dont go at a good pace, i think if your a beginniner a slower steady pace is good enough and many fail to realize that and try to run twise as fast as they should, they need to gradually find the right pace, and they will see running will be easier and more 'fun'. However because i cant run (i used to be able to all the time ) on a good and regular basis due to severe lung problems, i have found that things like yoga are nice too just because with yoga you are working with your body and not weights, and it helps you be calm.

Hmm, I stand by what I said, the body needs a mix of several exercises. Running is great, but if you just do running and nothing else, your fitness will tend to be one-sided. I wouldn't hold with just running, just as I wouldn't hold with just weight training to the exclusion of all else.

A healthy body should be capable of extending it's capabilities in any direction, not just into cardio or aerobic exercise.

There was a time when I used to look down on weight training (I was very young) - later, when I tried it, I found it had benefits of it's own, benefits which running couldn't give me (I've won a marathon, so I do know running). There's no one perfect exercise for perfect fitness - rather there has to be a subtle blend of several - train all the aspects of your body and you'll find that the benefits are incredible.

For losing weight alone, I agree, running is probably the best, with strenuous aerobics or martial arts coming a close second.

Well i dont really think that i even need a doctor.
My BMI is perfect and many infact all say that i dont need to lose weight and i am fit.
But about yoga i must say it is the best in the world and really helps you relax your mind body and soul. Also some of them are really good when you are sick.e.g if you have a cold or are cathing up with it try doing JALANITHI. This exercise is to pass luke warm water through the nose and believe me it clears your nose as nothing happened. Also they say deep breaths through the nose helps in pushing back your tummy inside. Well i am trying this every day for the past two weeks but no change as such with the stomach. But its going to take time.

Yep, I do Jalanati everyday. As for as that exersise of deeb breaths, It requires a proper technique which must be practiced 3 times a day (15 min.) :-)

i think its good to jog, even though i dont do it[im lazy] first timers should start walking, and then jogging. Dont jog all at first, or it will cause you troubles.

I'll be posting a reasonably good 12-minute exercise routine for those who don't have too much time - I need to take some pictures first, is all.

Hmm, I don't think a person who doesn't exercise is lazy. At the beginning of this year I'd let myself get out of training, and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't start training again. I'd start a exercise routine, but abandon it after a few days. I used to think keeping fit depended on 'will-power' or whatever. Then I took on two teenaged training partners (I would teach them the martial arts, they would help me get fit) and it turned everything around, and got me back in condition.



Some really good advice there, anto - start ANY exercise program gradually, there's no point in injuring yourself, or being in such pain the next day that you just don't feel like exercising.

For joggers, get yourself a pair of good running shoes, and run on ground or grass, rather than a hard surface like a road or sidewalk, if you can - it helps prevent injuries to your shins, ankles and knees.

I believe that just by changing yor day to day routine a little bit you can keep yourself fit, like instead of sitting in front of tv/computer all day if you could spend some time moving around while holding those fries back you could cut yourself a few kgs. You need to try to avoid those fried and fatty goodies and all and again try to consume wholesome fruits and vegetables and juices etc. Dont go for dieting coz its just a temporary solution and you tend to gain more weight once you start eating your normal diet. My suggestion to you is to start eating a healthier diet, start running/jogging for 45 mins 4 days a week in the morning, workout in gym 45 mins in evening every alternate day. If you follow the routine strictly keeping in mind the diet control hopefully you shall be able to attain the physique you have always wanted

I tried so many times to master on that technique but it is very difficult as your stomach starts paining and you get cramps may be i am doing it all wrong. But i cant do more that 2 minutes. It is serious concentration for me and once i start thinking about anything the whole exercis starts going wrong as i figure that i am breathing easily rather than pushing in the stomach.
How could you do that 15 minutes and that to 3 times. Its impossible for me dude.
And are you an indian. Sorry it is an off topic question.

But someone recntly told me that you should go for jogging early morning when the sun is almost to come out and jog for 30-45 minutes and then do some yoga for 30 minutes begginning with jalaniti and then ending with thh deep breaths after all the strethcing exercise. They say it is a perfiect combination of body , mind and soul.

Thanks for reading and have a good day.
