Bhagya Lakshmi’s Mohit Malhotra shares his fitness regime, says, ‘One exercise that has been beneficial for me is cycling’ – Times of India
While these actors have been working endlessly to give their best to the audience, it gets very difficult for them to take out time from their busy schedules to work on themselves.
However, staying fit and healthy should be the top priority for one and all. To maintain the same, Mohit Malhotra has figured out a way amid his busy schedule. Along with following a diet and going to the gym, Mohit follows a routine that includes cycling to maintain a balanced workout regime.
Mohit mentioned, “As an actor, I’ve always been mindful of staying in good shape, not just for the physical demands of my work, but also for my overall health and well-being. And I feel that one form of exercise that has been beneficial for me is cycling. What I love about cycling the most is that along with it being a physical exercise it also helps you relax and calms your mind.”
He added, “You can ride along with your friends, and families, it can be in your complex or even participate in marathons that happen around the city. I feel that everyone around can cycle to go places nearby, as it is also an eco-friendly way of travelling and one of the best forms of fitness.”
With the upcoming episodes of Bhagya Lakshmi it will be interesting for the viewers to witness how Vikrant and Lakshmi will be seen getting engaged, but will that be the end of RishMi, or will Rishi win over his love and break this engagement?

Kansas Kids Fitness Day promotes exercise, healthy eating habits among youth
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – Kansas Kids Fitness Day promotes exercise, healthy eating habits and overall wellness among youth.
According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), in an effort to prioritize health and well-being of Kansas youth, Governor Laura Kelly has officially declared May 5 as Kansas Kids Fitness Day.
KDHE officials said this recognition is a result of a partnership between Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), the Kansas Governor’s Council on Wellness and the Kansas Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance and has the goal of promoting physical activity, healthy eating habits and overall wellness among children throughout the state.
Officials with KDHE said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that only 24 percent of children 6 to 17 years of age participate in 60 minutes of physical activity every day.
“Physical Activity is important no matter your age, but especially for our children,” said KDHE Chief Medical Officer Dereck Totten, M.D. “When we are physically active for 60 minutes each day, we can increase not only our physical health, but our mental health as well. Recognition of fitness for children emphasizes the importance of introducing healthy habits to Kansans from an early age.”
KDHE officials said increased physical activity is associated with a decreased risk of depression, improved mood and memory, stronger bones, and better heart health. By encouraging children to engage in regular physical activity and adopt healthy lifestyle choices, Kansas is investing in a healthier future for its citizens.
Officials with KDHE indicated as Kansas Kids Fitness Day approaches on May 5, communities, schools, and families are encouraged to participate in activities that promote physical activity and healthy living. Whether it’s participating in organized sports, taking walks in nature, or simply enjoying the outdoors, there are countless ways to stay active.
KDHE officials said several schools throughout Kansas will be participating in Kansas Kids Fitness Day events, including:
- USD 470 Arkansas City and USD 358 Oxford – Friday, May 3, 2024
- USD 305 Salina (will include Ell-Saline, Smokey Valley, Southeast of Saline and Glasco) – Friday, May 3, 2024
- USD 443 Dodge City (will include Sacred Heart Cathedral School) – Thursday, May 9, 2024

University of Mobile earns award for ‘Exercise is Medicine’ global health initiative | The Alabama Baptist
A student-led project to establish a Ram Fitness Trail on campus, along with university-wide efforts to develop a culture of wellness, earned the University of Mobile a silver-level designation for 2024 in the national “Exercise is Medicine” global health initiative.
“The dedication of our students to promoting health and wellness on campus has been instrumental in achieving this recognition,” said Lori DeLong, dean of the School of Health and Sports Science in the College of Health Professions.
UM is one of only 145 colleges worldwide to be honored through the “Exercise is Medicine” initiative as a university that encourages faculty, staff and students to work together to improve the health and well-being of the campus community.
The American College of Sports Medicine, the world’s largest sports medicine and exercise science organization, co-launched “Exercise is Medicine” in 2007 with the American Medical Association. UM will be recognized May 29 at the Exercise as Medicine recognition ceremony at the American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting.
UM Kinesiology Club Projects
The silver-level designation highlights UM’s significant efforts in encouraging physical activity and healthy lifestyles within its college community. Previously, the university held the bronze-level designation.
Heather Smith, visiting instructor of kinesiology, said, “Initiatives such as the establishment of the Ram Fitness Trail, hosting health fairs, providing information about campus wellness resources and conducting surveys to assess physical activity needs have contributed to UM’s elevation to the silver level.”
Smith said the University of Mobile’s Kinesiology Club, along with the leadership team dedicated to this initiative, played a pivotal role in driving these efforts forward. The Kinesiology Club is one of more than 20 academic and student life organizations available for UM students.
Ram Fitness Trail
The Ram Fitness Trail was dedicated during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 28, 2023, and follows sidewalks along the university’s scenic Pollock-Altmayer Drive. Walkers on the Ram Fitness Trail start at Weaver Hall, where a QR code provides a campus map of the trail and distance markers.
DeLong said future plans are to extend the trail and take advantage of the university’s 880-acre wooded campus in north Mobile County.
The dean said the university’s Exercise is Medicine initiatives are in keeping with the motto for the School of Health and Sports Science: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. The scripture describes the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit and urges Christians to “honor God with your bodies.”
