Anil Kapoor’s Cardio Routine Draws Expert Praise for Health Benefits
Anil Kapoor, 69, calls cardio his ‘friend’: Expert explains why · indianexpress.com

Anil Kapoor shared a picture of himself exercising on a stationary bicycle.

He calls cardio, or exercise that makes the heart beat faster, his friend.

An expert said cardio can help the heart, lungs, muscles, mood, and stamina.

Cycling is gentler on the knees, ankles, and hips than running.

It mainly exercises the legs and can also help the body use energy.

People should begin slowly and increase the effort over time.

Sitting correctly and keeping good posture can help prevent discomfort.

Exercise works best when combined with healthy food, strength training, stretching, water, and rest.

People should ask a health professional before starting a new routine.
