Sweat out for a healthier life

Except a few job profiles, most of our jobs are office based. Also many companies have started with Work From Home. This post is primarily directed towards people associated with the IT industry.

Constantly sitting & gazing at the PC can have a lot of adverse effects on your health, if not now, but in your old age. I presume hardly a handful of us have the time to do a workout at home or Gym on a regular basis. The end result - Obesity, Pain in joints, Lethargy, Neck stiffness, Back pain, the list is endless..... Rather than heading towards an unhealthy future it would be wiser to take preventive actions at the right time. I would suggest some easy to do household work to keep you fit always -
  1. If you have a Garden do Gardening yourself rather than telling the Gardener to take care of things.
  2. If you have a Car don't keep someone to clean it. Clean it yourself if not regularly but every 2-3 days.
  3. Rather than using your favourite bike use your Bi-cycle to visit nearby places.
  4. Don't spend your weekends sleeping for long hours. Wake up at least by 8 am & spend a considerable amount of time cleaning your house or any other household work.
  5. If you are not staying very high up in the apartment (say within 4th-5th floor), use your Staircase rather than the Elevator to reach your flat.
  6. Use Public transport rather than Cabs, for places where you do not prefer to use your Car.
These are just a few handful of activities which would result in little bit of sweating. A comfortable seat within the office premises is just good for mind & not for the body. Believe me, absence of sweating is dangerous. I have started realizing things once I have joined a nearby Gym a month back. Sweating removes quite a lot of impurities from your body & opens up the pores on your skin.

So sweat out before its too late.
