Are you preparing for any crucial exam like JEE, PMT, AIEEE, UPSE or any other competitive exam, when even fractions of your available time owe to a fixed agenda? Does your time-plan have a bit of it reserved for physical exercise? Most of you would say NO.
A survey conducted by Harvard Medical Journal, analyzing over 500 students had some incredible findings. According to this analysis, just 15-30 minutes of exercise amazingly boosted students’ concentration level and mental alertness. It means just a brisk walk and ride on your bicycle till corner shop will result in your remarkable mental performance throughout the day.
One of best coaching classes for IIT-JEE preparation in India also conducted a similar survey among its students and found that physically and mentally fit candidates performed well in finals.
Usually, students join best coaching classes for IIT-JEE preparation, renowned libraries, study-groups but conveniently neglect to join a half-an-hour Yoga class early morning. Forget a Yoga class, you should voluntarily take out at least 30 minutes in a whole day for your fitness.
Sound mind lives in a sound body. Often we do not keep a tab on our fitness during exam preparation. We totally neglect sports and even avoid walking or cycling and take a mobike instead. As a result, we lead to poor fitness level, lack of stamina, fatigue, obesity, constipation, ill digestion, intestinal gas formation, etc. While preparing for important exams like JEE, AIEEE, AIIMS, UPSC, NTSE, etc we could not afford falling frequently ill or lack of concentration.
