Fitness Coach’s Calisthenics Video In Delhi Metro: A New Way To Exercise Or A Public Nuisance?

Delhi
metro
and
viral
videos
are
synonymous
–
kinda
looks
like
that,
right?
In
the
most
recent
viral
video
from
the
bogeys
of
Delhi
metro
comes
the
video
of
a
fitness
coach
doing
calisthenics
inside
the
compartment,
with
the
help
of
the
grab
handles.

The
lawless
lands
of
Delhi
metro
is
home
to
hundreds
of
videos
as
this
one.
While
some
were
purely
amazed
by
the
stunts
pulled
by
the
fitness
coach
who
goes
by
the
username

jagjot_k143
on
Instagram
is
a
fitness
coach,
others
were
not
that
happy
with
Jagjot
Kaur’s
short
calisthenics
stunt.

With
the
half
being
impressed
and
the
other
half
being
visibly
irritated,
it
quipped
my
interest
(as
usual).
So
what
did
I
do?
I
checked
out
whether
calisthenics
is
a
good
form
of
exercise,
who
can
benefit
from
it
and
who
should
avoid
it.

Calisthenics
Video
In
Delhi
Metro:
A
New
Way
To
Exercise
Or
A
Public
Nuisance?

Calisthenics
is
a
type
of
exercise
where
you
use
your
own
weight
to
do
resistance
training.
Calisthenics
has
become
popular
in
recent
times
(as
you
can
see)
owing
to
the
numerous
benefits
and
the
way
it
makes
you
look
cool
doing
it!

Why
should
you
consider
trying
out
calisthenics?

1.
Strength
and
muscle
development:
Calisthenics
exercises,
such
as
push-ups,
pull-ups,
and
squats,
target
multiple
muscle
groups
simultaneously,
leading
to
increased
strength
and
muscle
development.
And
the
best
part
is,
these
exercises
can
be
modified
to
suit
different
fitness
levels

[1].

2.
Improved
flexibility:
Calisthenics
incorporates
movements
that
promote
flexibility,
such
as
lunges,
planks
etc.
Regular
practice
of
these
exercises
can
increase
joint
mobility
and
your
range
of
motion,
reducing
the
risk
of
injuries
during
physical
activities

[2].

3.
Enhances
functional
fitness:
Calisthenics
focuses
on
movements
that
mimic
everyday
activities,
making
it
a
practical
and
functional
form
of
exercise.
By
training
the
body
to
perform
tasks
like
pushing,
pulling,
and
lifting,
individuals
can
improve
their
overall
fitness
and
perform
daily
tasks
with
greater
ease

[3].

4.
No
equipment
required:
The
best
part
about
calisthenics
is
that
you
don’t
need
to
buy
any
exercise
equipment.
It
can
be
performed
anywhere,
any
time,
without
the
need
for
expensive
equipment
or
a
gym
membership.

5.
Improves
cardiovascular
health:
One
of
the
primary
benefits
of
calisthenics
is
that
it
helps
boost
your
cardiovascular
health
and
even
your
lungs

[4].

Should
you
try
calisthenics
in
public?

There
is
a
saying
–
“there
is
a
time
and
(a)
place
for
everything,”
and
this
applies
for
calisthenics
too.
While
this
innovative
approach
to
exercise
offers
unique
opportunities
for
promoting
health
and
fitness,
it
also
raises
concerns
about
public
disturbance
and
safety.

Even
though
making
all
types
of
videos
inside
the
Delhi
Metro
is
prohibited
within
the
premises,
people
tend
to
tease
the
rules.
Be
a
responsible
citizen
and
pick
a
suitable
place
to
exercise,
something
that
is
not
a
metro
compartment,
hopefully.
