Importance of physical fitness

[mehreensaeed]

Regular exercise and physical activity promotes strong muscles and bones. It improves respiratory, cardiovascular health, and overall health. Staying active can also help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and reduce your risk for some cancers.

Absolutely. Exercise is extremely important.

The toughest part about covid-19 is dealing with these lockdowns. I had a really solid routine for gym and this pandemic and the lockdowns in Canada have ruined it for me. It will take me a couple years to recover from this.

Couple years to recover?

I gain weight really fast & lose weight very slowly. I will lose about 3-4 pounds very easily & then it takes a lot of effort & diet control for me to lose weight. My unhealthy eating habits & being a night owl doesn't help things .

Having said that, after the first 3 months of lockdown in my city, it took me about 6 months to get back to my pre lockdown weight. This current lockdown is most probably going to last about 2 months... so I might have exaggerated a bit by saying a couple years.

But then again, it also depends on the fact if I start working again. I was able to get back into prime shape in 6 months because I was not working & I was going to the gym 6 days a week & spending 2-3 hours at the gym for the last part of that 6 month period.

Gladly, even though I have gained a few pounds in this current lockdown, I'm not obese or fat by any means. It's just that I'm used to being in good shape all my life & I started going to the gym regularly when I was 18 & I'm 34 now...so I've gotten used to that lifestyle.

I am glad that people have begun to understand the benefits of sports. Previously, sports and a healthy lifestyle were not so popular, as it was fashionable to smoke cigars and drink in bars. Two years ago, I had heart problems due to being overweight. You can't imagine how hard it was for me to start playing sports. The first thing I did was read the description of the different simulators on calibrate.fitness and chose a treadmill (as I often heard that running promotes rapid fat burning). Now I am in perfect shape and I have not had any health problems for a long time.
