In addition to this; can doing dance every day for 30 mins shall also help instead of Walking?

Ans: Walking is a cardio exercise. Your exercise should include cardio and strengthening exercises. This will help build up your lean mass and help lose body fat. Thus, Insulin resistance will improve and your blood sugar levels will be better controlled.

Ans: You can reduce the weight (Which includes muscle mass too) but not sure about the FATLOSS. It will be better to combine strength training as well with your cardio routine. and YES customised diet will really help.

Ans: Hi M, It is awesome that you want to get started with yoga. Reducing body weight is primarily dependent on diet and, secondarily, metabolism. Exercise helps improve our metabolism and makes the body function more efficiently. Yoga would be an excellent starting point for you. Here's what I would recommend - your routine should be moderately challenging for you - it should be optimally difficult, not severely. This means you should be able to recover from it easily - you should not feel tired or fatigued all day, and you should have the energy to practice the next day as well. This will be a discovery process. Let's take the example of walking - if your current limit is 5 minutes, you could set a goal to increase it to 6 mins in week 2. 8 mins in Week 3, 11 mins in Week 4, and 15 mins in Week 5. This is just a rough example of how you progressively increase intensity - the actual numbers can be higher or lower. You can do the same with yoga - the point is to constantly up the intensity just a little bit each time you come to the practice. I hope this helps; please consult your physician if you have any pre-existing health conditions. All the best.

Ans: The goal of ACL surgery, as well as other reconstructive surgeries, is to enable a return to your daily activities, including walking, jogging, brisk walking It's essential to engage in consistent aerobic exercises and knee-strengthening routines to support this process. Please do visit Physiotherapist who will evaluate you and suggest exercise plan. Regarding weight please do take opinion from Dietician regarding diet plan where you reduce carbohydrate intake and increase protein intake.

Ans: While both walking and yoga are beneficial, yoga tends to offer a more comprehensive approach to health. Yoga not only improves physical fitness but also enhances flexibility, strength, and posture. Additionally, yoga reduces stress and anxiety through breath control and mindfulness. It balances the body and mind, addressing mental well-being alongside physical health. Walking, on the other hand, primarily focuses on cardiovascular benefits.

Yoga’s holistic benefits make it more effective for overall well-being. It strengthens both body and mind, which can lead to long-term health improvements.
