Abstract:
A lot of people get into exercise and physical fitness syndrome without knowing the implication with the aim of keeping up with the 'Jones as it is in vogue, yet they do not want to be seen as social misfits- while exercise is rewarding too much of it without gradual preparation might be injurious to the body except one wants to develop muscles one does not need to engage in strenuous exercise. This paper looks into the hazards of exercise, wasteful and unproductive sport-related consumer expenditures; while subscribing to regular physical activities to prevent the onset of the degenerative cardiovascular diseases, it recommends the playing of a musical instrument rather than engaging in strenuous and hazardous exercise. Musical instrument playing is a productive more rewarding and satisfying physical activity sufficient for physical fitness and good health. It goes further to suggest some low risk physical exercises as a preamble to musical instrument playing using violin as an example.
