Monsoon rain interrupting your fitness routine? Dr Pankaj Walecha explains how to stay active indoors

Dr Pankaj Walecha recommends indoor exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, planks, jumping jacks, and stair climbing during monsoon.

Yoga and pilates are highlighted as beneficial for flexibility, posture, stress reduction, and core strength.

Adults are advised to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly, including brisk walking indoors or marching in place.

Mobility, balance, and functional fitness are emphasized, with stretching, resistance band workouts, and light strength training to improve joint health.

Indoor equipment like treadmills, stationary cycles, rowing machines, and online fitness classes can replace outdoor cardio.
