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.
