Something to increase your heart rate n add vigour to your routine...maybe its just me,but the days I dont exercise, mostly weekends, am just plain lazy... My dadaji used to walk daily... 1 hr...n he continued it until 6months before his death..he lived till 89-90...he was inflicted with filarisis in 1 leg... Elephant leg as they call it...yet he walked daily... He said thats one of the things he looked forward to everyday.My dad is a doctor.. Probably its because of that that we all believe in eating cautiously n healthy...also my family has a history of a bit high cholestorol...my dad says its our food... North indian food is very rich in oil n fat... N our nonvegetarian diet adds as well...i guess its your iyer food that helps you keep fit :) coz otherwise, I see everyone in job gaining n maintaining a keg in india mostly if they dont exercise... :)My dad says we should exercise coz thats the only strenuous activity we do on a daily basis with our desk jobs taking most of our time... I remember I had not an ounce of fat until I was in my undergrad...n the first 3 months of my job,n I gained a layer on my tummy... Nothing I did differently other than those crazy walking I used to do back in college...I used to look like a version of those somalian big belly kids... Hanth pair sab patle, n then a slight ponch!!N I was commenting on all the meetha that they eat.. Not food in general... Sweetmeats are the most attractive n most fattening of the lot!!! I have a sweet tooth n I know how easily I gain an unflattering BIG ponch on by mr fun" style="border: none !important; display: inline-block !important; text-indent: 0px !important; float: none !important; font-weight: bold !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-transform: uppercase !important; text-decoration: underline !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important; background: transparent !important;">vacationsto india when I refuse to do the routine!!
