10 WAYS "SUSTAINABLE FITNESS" IS BETTER FOR YOU - Sustainable Fitness - Part 03


  1. The STARTING LEVEL FITNESS of the individual is taken into account.
    This is critical, since the road map to fitness becomes more realistic. Also factor in the body types (refer earlier article for body types)
  2. MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES are fixed with phased TIMELINES, factoring in individual idiosyncrasies - like pre-existing issues
    Please remember that whatever goes up fast can also come down faster.. So, phase your milestones so that you are running your race but not someone else's .
  3. The PHYSICAL EXERCISES are VARIED to impact various fitness parameters - Cardio-vascular, Structural strength, Flexibility, Agility and Balance. This will prevent Physical Stress and Mental Monotony.
    Also, prioritize your schedule to customize for your objectives. The key variables are the INTENSITY and the FREQUENCY.
  4. INJURY PREVENTION is the guiding principle.
    Please remember Injuries can be major setbacks - sometimes for months . I know many who haven't resumed their exercises after an injury, and lost even their existing fitness.
  5. ADEQUATE RECOVERY TIME is insisted upon every week.
    Pain is not only gain; it is also an indication that the muscle has to be rested. I often say "Too much of Pain is NO brain"
  6. PHYSIO THERAPY is included in the schedule
    COLD relieves pain immediately.. HOT bag facilitates long term muscle recovery. Give yourself medicinal oil massage at least once a week. Or go for a therapeutic massage, if you don't mind the cost.
  7. LIFE-STYLE CHANGES are monitored in critical areas like DIET, TOBACCO, ALCOHOL, SLEEP CYCLES. Suitable changes are advised by subject-matter experts. (refer earlier article for diet planning)
    Fitness in 80% kitchen and 20% gym. Moderation is key word. What you want to leave is up to you, but just remember everything you do has a cost - immediately or in the future.
  8. Similar to WORK LIFE BALANCE, EXERCISE LIFE BALANCE is insisted upon
    Dont go overboard on fitness and loose focus of your Life goals. Fitness is a facilitator and not the end in itself.
    Fitness is supposed to enhance your efficiency in other productive areas of your life like Work, Family and Hobbies; NOT to replace them.
  9. EMOTIONAL FITNESS is addressed by exercises which enhance OBJECTIVITY UNDER STRESS
    What is the point of having physical Fitness, if one is always tensed, angry or anxious. Health will deteriorate. Exercises do relieve the stress and make changes in your thinking patters too and understand what can be changed by your feeelings and what cannot be changed. Learn to shrug and move on.  
  10. In CORPORATE PROGRAMS, COGNITIVE FITNESS will also be addressed by inclusion of simple GAMES to impact various cognitive skills like numerical, verbal, abstract, spatial and mechanical reasoning,
    People become experts in one skill and let their other cognitive skills rust in dormancy . We notice this in either deadline driven jobs or in mark-driven schools.
    Set aside a few minutes everyday to work on brain games and do other activities which are in contrast to your regular ones.

    A residential Fitness Courses is, in lot of ways, beneficial to the mind and the body. This is saying that it is better to join a residential fitness course than a gym. There are a lot of benefits involved in the process. You need to keep in mind that normally you would hit the gym for a maximum of two hours a day.

TCS staff's murder - Why it is too simplistic to blame IT/ITES companies!?

Image
Uma Maheswari  Uma Maheswari’s murder in Siruseri IT Park, Chennai has provoked lots of opinions in the media. The public take a vicarious pleasure in gleefully pointing a finger at the IT/BPO sector, “These IT companies don’t bother about their employees’ safety. They just want to make money.” My question to these people is simple. Atleast 5 to 6 lakh people are working in IT/ITES sector in Chennai and suburbs. Chennai population is 46 million with another 15 million working and residing in Chennai.. So we can say around 10% of Chennai population is working in IT related companies. The murder statistics point out that around 200 homicides happen in Chennai annually.  So how can one expect that such a big chunk of population, of which 30% are women, be insulated from crime?! Even by a simple back-of-the-envelope-calculation 2 lakh women are employed in IT/ITES sector. How can one expect that there cannot be an aberration?  If murders of IT women ...

The Dynamics of Police encounters - Part 2 The background of encountered criminals

The Dynamics of Police encounters - Part 2 The background of encountered criminals - Venkatesh Pannaiyar This was an encounter which resulted in the transfer of the charismatic Vijayakumar IPS, the then Commissioner of Police, Chennai. Read on to understand how the police fight crime with one arm tied behind their back. Also how the media, which cant shed its caste and community prejudices, packed off an efficient officer from the state itself, in spite of delivering whatever assignment given to him. VENKATESH PANNAIYAR - THE BACKGROUND  The diminutive and nattily dressed Venkatesh Pannaiyar won’t physically fit the prevalent image of a don. But he is a product of generations of caste feud plaguing Southern TamilNadu. His family is from Moolakarai near Tuiticorin; an area with the dubious reputation for making country bombs and gun running. Venkatesh's uncle, grandfather - important elders of their community have been murdered by Dalits, when he was a boy. Venkate...

YES to Enthusiasm! NO to Burnout !

"Today I did 76 push-ups in one go." "I want to become a Black-cat Commando." "Sir, I want to be a cage fighter." I hear these kinds of statements often from newbies. My reaction is a smile with raised eyebrows, which I hope is seen as a subtle gesture of wisdom from a grand old master in a 70s kungfu movie!   ðŸ˜€ Actually, I am calculating "Will he drop off on the day 3 or day 7!" Point 1  Intense training is for professional athletes preparing for a specific event, at the cost of other aspects of life like job, relationships, travel and beer sessions with buddies. That is a zone which can become very lonely and inward. Are you aware and prepared for that?! Point 2  Is your body genetically suitable, your diet sufficient, you have financial resources to sustain that long dark tunnel which you have to walk alone, for 2 or 3 years?! Have you even thought through this? To have a productive life, avoiding physical and emotional ...
