Cardio Workout planned by PT

Co relating cardiac problems with only old age is a thing of past, in present times cardiac problems can be age independent.Stress, both physical and mental has increased in urban lifestyle and thus has left almost all of us prone to stress related health issues.

Many other old  theories and myths do not hold good.We need to understand that heart attacks can come to anyone and anytime.We also need to understand that everyone with a family history of cardiac problems is not prone to heart  attack.Heart attacks can be silent and may not be necessarily associated with chest pain.Blood pressure fluctuations also may not always show the typical signs and symptoms known to be related to B.P problems.There are various tests available to evaluate cholesterol levels and artery blockage percentage, these may be indicative of problems if any.

You have a healthy heart or not can be decided only by specialist and not by your own assumptions based on your lifestyle. Known Factors such as 
-Obesity 
-Old age 
-Alcohol consumption 
-Smoking 
-Sedentary living 
-Unhealthy food habits 
-Irregular sleep habits etc. are all important in shaping up your heart's future,but they are not the only criteria to be dealt with. 

Regular exercise and healthy food habits are required to maintain good heart health.These exercises and food habits can not be generalised, it needs to be specific to your personal health requirements and thus should be prescribed by professionals.

All exercise is not good exercise,if you have not undergone proper cardiac test.Sudden on field cardiac arrest of athletes in recent past shows how even fit young athletes may be at risk.

Mountain Climbing and Trekking

 We have included both these under the same title because of many similarities but for professionals, they know how trekking and mountaineering needs are different.Getting into intricacies is not our target but would like to mention that fitness levels need to be good before getting out for any of the above.Chances of injury is very high for those who do not have adequate strength, flexibility and endurance.One of the most important needs of a trek or mountain climbing is proper gear including good footwear,first aid kit and oxygen if necessary.Everyone should have trained for cardiovascular fitness for some days prior to the trip.As oxygen levels start dipping,body limits are tested to maximum. Fall of temperature with altitude is the leading cause of casualties.Adventure levels are high but at the same time body needs to be well prepared.No one should carry an injury with him, its better to stay away if your physio has advised you to do so.Ankle and knee injuries in particular may resurface during long distance walking or climbing.Some beginners may not be aware but diet plans have to be made in advance as well and strictly followed for few days before the main event.Preparation exercises may include breathing exercise,yoga,core strengthening, brisk walks or jogging etc.Mental preparation is as important as physical, so meditation and even counselling if needed may be done before high altitude mountaineering.
