Reacting to Himesh Reshammiya’s workout reel, Dr Anoop Dhamangaonkar, Consultant Joint Replacement and Orthopaedic Surgeon, S.L.Raheja Hospital – A Fortis Associate, says that from an orthopaedic point of view, proper exercises are vital to the maintenance of the health of the muscles and bones and improvement of mobility since they can help in avoiding ageing-induced muscle and bone mass losses.

“Strength exercises will allow building up muscle strength, bone density, and joint stability, whereas activities like Pilates can help in strengthening the muscles of the core, increasing flexibility, improving the balance and posture,” he tells indianexpress.com.

At the same time, he says their impact depends heavily on proper execution, as “improper execution, exceeding weight during lifts, rapid increase in training intensity” can lead to excessive load on the joints, tendons, ligaments, and spinal column.

What to keep in mind

Firstly, Dr Dhamangaonkar says it is critical to adjust workouts to one’s age, current physical condition, medical history, and any musculoskeletal disorders.

“Novices should begin with moderate resistance and gradually increase the load on the muscles under proper guidance,” he shares, adding that proper posture and controlled exercises, along with a warm-up, are necessary to avoid injury.

Dr Dhamangaonkar stresses that recovery is a crucial part of one’s workouts.

“Appropriate rest, proper nutrition, and consumption of enough protein assist in muscle recovery, while appropriate intake of calcium and vitamin D ensure bone health”, he states, adding that any person who is suffering from joint pain, swelling, discomfort or limited range of motion should not overlook the symptoms and continue working out through the pain.

As a parting remark, the doctor warns that although celebrities’ workouts may motivate people to exercise more, they should not follow routines blindly without considering one’s needs. “The aim should be to strengthen one’s body, protect joints, and preserve mobility for years to come,” he concludes.
