Exercise is not only important to stay fit, it is also very important to keep the mind healthy and mentally good. During Covid-19 time, most people's daily routines have changed, which is affecting their health. So keep some time of the day for exercise from home.
Model and choreographer Azra Mahmood is busy throughout the year. He is exercising at home to keep himself fit. Azra said, ‘The best exercise to control weight is walking on a treadmill. However, some empty-handed exercises are essential for building body muscles. Because with age, the muscles of the body become weak. Aerobics works well enough to keep you fit. I do 30 minutes of aerobics every day. It’s like dancing, which keeps the mind fresh. One day I walk on a treadmill, another day I do aerobics.'
The type and time of exercise will not be the same depending on the age. Shawkat Ara Sayeda, head coach and dietitian at Persona Health, said adults need to have at least 30 minutes to walk. In addition, the best time to exercise is in the morning. At this time the body and mind are fresh. However, if it is not possible in the morning for any reason, you can exercise in the afternoon or at night. He also talked about some exercises that you can do at home.
