GYM

As I see today gym has become most common physical excersize that any young people practise. I see this is one of the ancient traditional excersize that use to be in Karnataka. This was followed in King's palace while King would become a warrior after he practised it in a long time.
Today it has become more modern with more number of equipments like Thread Mill, Cycling etc. This is most attracting and looks more young among people whom you meet. Hence I would say GYM as "GO YOUNG MONKEY" whereas from the tradition it is been like "Gaurdi mane" in kannada.
I do not want to corelate this with YOGA(Young Over gigs Age). As I see YOGA is one that keeps people passion and more healthy. This is helpful in curing most of the diseases permanently. This is practised early in the morning due to which it helps in keeping freshness throught out the day. There are many body positions that are called as ASANAS, to name a few Mayur ASANA, Shirs ASANA, Kukuta ASANA, Garuda ASANA, SURYA ASANA etc.
The best ASANA that should be followed daily is the SURYA ASANA, also popularly known as SURYANAMSKARA in which you need to follow 12 different position for around 10 times in a day.

Hi Vinay!
lolz to the "GO YOUNG MONKEY" description :).. But i personally believe any kind of physical exercise helps to keep ourselves fit and healthy. If gyms were not at all effective,how else will we explain the number of gyms around the city and ever increasing number of people joining the same? I agree Yoga has its own advantages in a long run. All the same, Yoga is not as popular..or rather I'd say not as commercialized as the gyms with its modern equipments and easy accessibility. I think thats the reason everyone seems more attracted towards the Gym. Some of us who really know Yogic asanas and exercises should try and share this knowledge with other youngsters so that in a couple of decades it doesn't become a forgotten skill..

How about commercializing YOGA to such a great extent that people like to follow it as the way gyms are around the city?
I am not invester nor teacher but some one should make this.
