Last year has been the most unpredictable
year with this Covid- 19 pandemic worldwide where the country and people have
faced lot of challenges economically, socially, physically and mentally. Due to
this people everywhere are working online and leading a sedentary lifestyle
which has seriously impacted their physical health due to faulty postures and
comfortable home environment with no workout. Most of the people have gained
weight due to lots of food intake with almost zero workouts. Many of them have
developed back pains and neck pains due to work from home and sitting on
laptops and desktops for all day long. Few of them have also developed forward
neck postures due to wrong posture for a longer time.
What one should do to avoid all this? An
active lifestyle amidst work from home like doing stretching’s of all the
muscles that are stained i.e. of neck, of back and of arms, etc. Eating less
diet helps to keep weight at a standard position. Performing yogasnas also
refreshes the body. Most of the people started doing running and jogging this
time.
Benefits of Running – Running and jogging
helps to increase stamina and pumps all the body with freshness. It is a whole
sole exercise for all the muscles of the body. It helps in burning out all the
extra calories. It helps to improve blood supply to the tissues in the body.
Is it really helpful in Covid time- Most
people were running using a face mask, well that is not advisable as it leads
to increase intake of Carbon dioxide. While running the oxygen demand is
increased and due to the use of face masks proper supply of oxygen could not be
made possible leading to nausea and discomfort after running. On the contrary
those who didn’t used face masks were at high risks o get exposed to the
infection of Covid 19 as I can be present in surface or air which is inhaled by
that person and can easily get infected. So it is highly risky to do running
and jogging during Covid timing. It is better to do yoga and indoor exercises.
