Gravitas Plus: Actor Puneeth Rajkumar's death highlights the risk of intense workout 

My friend died during the covid lockdown in April 2020. She was a triathlete, an Ironman. She did a 60 mile ride, instead of the 30 mile ride she had planned. She went to sleep, but never woke up. Her electrolytes were so low, her heart stopped. She wasn’t able to see her family due to the lockdown, so she retreated to exercise. Too much exercise can kill you.

Still south industry not learning Not even actor Puneet Rajkumar he is great human being 47 orphanage 19 Old age home 17 Cow shelters Taking care of 1800 children education Bigger then bollywood he is real Sanathani

My grand uncle (75) eats right and does a few calisthenics exercises each morning, and every time I see this guy it actually makes me hopeful for when old age comes. Slow and steady always won the race.

I did HIIT for about 3 months, 5 days a week. It works but I did injure myself and never went back as I realised that our bodies were not made to work out at that pace. It becomes an obsession. Doing everything in moderation is what we should all aim at

" Our body has a limit, and that must be respected!" Well-said

Puneet had an aura and a mesmerizing personality.. Simplicity personified.

I'm 75 been weight training for 45 years and agree totally with you. Less is more, eat relatively healthy, train 5 hours per week with a little walking every day. The same program at 75 as when I was 30, just less time in the gym and much less food i.e. 3500calories versus 1750 today. I approve of this video.

As a certified and college educated personal trainer for over 10 years, I 💯 agree with the information shared in this video.

Fitness has become an obsession, status symbol, fashion etc . Moderation is wisdom

I'm from Karnataka, we are highly disappointed to loss of our power star ⭐ Puneeth Rajkumar sir😭😭. Thank you Palki Sharma for educating us 💛❤️

A few years ago, I have put on a lot of weight. It was due to fast food and being largely inactive. I decided to do something about it. I began working out and eating better. The results were showing. I began losing weight. As I get fitter and stronger, exercise became an addiction. I began doing way too much. Lifting heavy weights and engaging in high-intensity training. I was running up hills and breaking personal fitness records. As the months go by, I became sick more often and was injury-prone. Eventually, I twisted my knee and suffered a torn chest muscle. My body was breaking down. I took 6 months off exercise. Now I am doing low-impact cardio workouts and I reduced the number of weights, I was lifting. In life, everything is a balance. Please listen to your body.

I'm a former athlete and trainer, she spoke absolutely correctly. Everything she said was is exactly correct 100

She doesn’t forget to call it Wuhan virus even while discussing a different topic ! 😍😍😂😂😂

He was such a down to earth person and very humble human being 😔

Wow...after having my baby, I worked out hard and lost the weight and really toned my body..BUT...now..my body is so out of wack! So much back pain. I never had back issues until I started working out. This all is making sense now! Thank you for this!

We all should be asking: WAS HE VACCINATED? WHICH BRAND? HOW MANY TIMES? WAS THE HEART FAILURE RELATED TO VACCINES? People deserve to know the full story.

Palki Sharma is the only reporter I can admire. It is really courageous to call corona virus "Wuhan Virus" so smoothly. 🙂 Bang on! Keep up the good work mam, keep inspiring the young women out here. ❤️

Puneeth Rajkumar never witnessed any financial difficulties in his life, he was born rich, still, he never flaunted his richness. He lived a simple and humble life.

I love this episode, there is no need to compare yourself with anyone. Acceptance is key and moderation. Have the discernment to go beyond your limit. I teach yoga even as an avid marathoner, I sincerely listen to my body. I enjoy running to that level. Some people hate running and enjoying swimming. Exercise is not a one size fit all.

Thanks for the info / sharing , Ms.Sharma

Moderation is the magic word for almost everything..!!

Our Karnataka's dearest Power house of smile, humblenss, simplicity is no more with us. You mentioning him on World News is appreciable. His loss is bringing pain even to who saw him just once on tv with his simplicity. ❤❤❤⭐🙏Puneet Rajkumar ❤

Thanks for all the knowledge you Share

An eye 👁️ opening video .. Especially for youth

My brother died because of intense workout. Intense workout means "intense body-cult", it is pure idolatry, is barbarian

Puneet rajkumar we miss him a lot,donated his eyes like his father legend actor late Dr.Rajkumar did. Felt very very sad bcz he was simple, humble use to respect even small actors, speaking with public very friendly wherever he use to travel. Known for his acting,dance and a lot of social services.

Very valuable info. Thanks 🙏

I almost vanished myself in the gym and never recovered fully. I was wondering why? I was intensely active 6 days a week. I never understood this because I thought I was working out to stay healthy. Thank you Wion

Everything has a limit. Moderation is key

As a coach I believe that too much of everything is not good. You know when to stop working out already, your body will give a signal. Then when you work out again, you'll notice your body can do a little bit more than before. Work out to make you feel better, not the other way around. Stay safe everyone.

Really helpful thanks a ton👍🙏

So Wonderfull you told us all this palkhi Mam

She always says Wuhan virus 😂😂😂

Puneeth is really a very good human being, So sad he lost his life in such a young age, everybody is felling pain of his loss.

Wow.... Thanks very much for this wonderful tips.

Well put girl! Moderation is a key in everything!!! Eating, sleeping, working out...!!! Love it!!!

This is something that no one would tell us! Very informative!

Puneet rajkumar was synonym for a good human being. What a gem of a person he was. Most of his philanthropy was not publicised.

Thank you great information!

I remember being told as a child that your heart only has so many beats in it before it gets worn out. I'm not sure if that was a way of telling me not to run around the house, but it has certainly made me think about how I do exercise, and like everything else, I do it in moderation. A little bit every day for mobility, or more intense every couple of days.

My uncle is 55 but looks 30 and has a six pack. He doesn't go to gym. He's a farmer who climbs coconut trees everyday. Workout in nature is better than in a gym.

R.I.P Good advice I go to the gym 2-3 times a week ,and I workout my entire body at one time, and lift what I can handle What a lot of people don't realize is that when you lift heavy weights for years when you get older it affects your joints

Great document, well put together. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thanks for this video, makes lot of sense..

All Gym trainers must have training in BLS (Basic Life Support),if any person is unconscious in gym suddenly or collapsed the gym trainer can do CPR as first aid this will help many of the people to survive and revive their heart rate

Power star Puneeth Sir a rare talent.. Even a step further one of the highest energetic actor in Indian cinema.. Very very few matches his energy level. Karnataka n India lost a great actor n wonderful human being.

Omg i love watching your to the point video. They are sweet, short, pack of info, and fun to watch

Thank you. This is highly informative and as an MD I'm alarmed at all the quarks prescribing exercise fads to the unwary

I’m a qualified PT and can attest to the veracity and importance of this message. 🙏🏻

Though born in rich family, Puneeth Rajkumar was so humble. 7:30 AM he was on twitter wishing his brother all the best for the next movie & by afternoon he's dead. Shocking n can't believe he is no more. Not sure if intense workout was the only reason but this shouldn't have happened😢

Your amazing.....

Brilliant. Very informative. Thanks so much.

I nominate Palki.Sharma for the highest award in journalism 🙏

I just love how calmly she explain things 🔥

Great video, thanks 👍.

Miss you appu boss💔😢

We are gonna miss him soo much .. such a great personality.. he was a role model for our generation.. he will always be in our hearts.. Matte Hutti Banni Puneeth Sir 🙏

I miss you Puneeth sir 😭 india loss one good actor from Kannada go to safe Heaven 😭😭😭😭😭

Your so smart! So,informative!

Yes absolutely you are right

just yesterday i was thinking that Palki might do some topic related to this, here she is.

Tq for highlighting the risks of intense exercise, Wion. It is the responsible thing to do. RIP, Mr Puneeth Rajkumar.

Very informative, thank you for such an eye opener

Thank you this is important

Puneeth was the most loved personality in Karnataka, all ninitees kid remembers his child actor roles.

Brilliant short videos with very useful information. Thanks so much

Congratulations for making such a detailed educational and very useful video, and yes RU-vid is overloaded with influencers who are not educated enough to share the content! Great job

He had been into it since 25 years. He was extra careful about his health. It's unbelievable that it happened to him. 😓😓

According to a recent study, there has been a shift from Weight-loss to Weight neutral -approach. The Weight-neutral approach means increasing endurance and physical activity without consideration of weight. High intense exercise is like a sprinter. Increasing endurance is like a marathon. Another study showed 70% reduction in mortality if people walk 7000 steps per day (i.e. 24 hours). Also, I recommend taking small steps and increasing endurance gradually. And if possible get sunlight exposure for at least 20 minutes a day. This will help by providing Vitamin D. In my opinion brisk walking in sunlight is the best approach. - Dr. Deepon Chaudhuri, MD (Medicine), COVID Frontliner

so so true

Thank you for this. It really is helpful.

RIP TO THOSE PERMANENTLY QUITTING EXERCISING 😂

I'm a fan of Ms Palki Sharma. Very articulate & precise on every important topic. - Malaysian.

Yes , Everything must in Moderation & Be Balanced!

I love how you speak English with high vocabulary and pronunciation ❤️

Recently Our Indian Army's 5 soldiers died due to cardiac arrest caused by the High endurance Run and that also performed in Critical weather conditions with low oxygen . They could've been a good examples instead of all the athletes and celebrities u mentioned. No doubt they were also gud examples , but it would have been appreciated if u included our serving soldiers too.

Well, I daily do my workouts for around 1 to 2 hours with proper rest in between each sets. I always believe in the proverb: *"SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE"*, So that only I am into slow progression and results rather than faster changes. Nothing in life can be earned through shortcuts like that without a price for it. This applies in every aspect of life like recovering from a pain emotionally or physically, maybe even a disease. Or becoming rich, etc. Never expect anything good in such a short span of time.

I like the way u explain by just setting

Thank you said what I was thinking 'moderation is the key to everything".

She is true. Every other guy is a fitness influencer on social networking

This lady, she always has very good analysis. I like it when she called "wuhan virus" 👍 Edit: from US, Condolences to the fans for the loss of the actor. RIP 💐

Great Analysis and a Lesson too….

Very Thankful for. You given very useful awareness for me.

Appu was great human being the money earned through his singing would go straight to charity and he has sung nearly 150 songs for kfi🤩

What she is saying is true. I've started working out when I was 13, now I go through so much pain on my neck, shoulder and rotator on diaky basis, it gets unbearable sometimes. With workouts, either too much of it or making the slightest mistake, you pay for it for life and it ain't pretty.

Amazingly put👏🏻👏🏻

The best , wait beauriful! Respect ,

I'm sorry to say this being a kannadiga rajkumar family has a history of cardiac problems which is due to hereditary. He is one of the fittest actor's. So not good to take him as an example and say that excessive workout.there are many people who have died because of workouts.

Thanks, so educational

This is excellent advice. Thank you for doing this piece. We live in a society where convenience and quantity tend to trump quality and logic.

I play Badminton every week. It is a light to medium exercise. 3-4 game of Doubles matches so that I won't strain the heart & the muscles too much.

We have lost great Legend of South Indian Cinema ( Kannada) , I had an opportunity to see him at Gym long ago,@ Bangalore,also interact for few minutes.Such a humble being Very down to earth, who ever meets him, wether he is a common man or a Reputed person, he treats everyone the same.. He always likes to listen to what the common also faces the kind of challenges and had asked me few questions, Tbh never have I seen such an Actor who treats people around just like a family! 😔🙏It's indeed a huge loss to the film fraternity. 🥺But let me also share my thoughts pertaining to the Fitness regimes that any actors goes through.. Now if u consider the Film Industry like a regular job, even they have Deadlines.. so it's like in some Films, they Expect the actors to Gain weight quickly ( for the sake of the Films) , Secondly some film Scripts demand you to Get A muscular 6 pack body for the sake of adventure films just like in a month or so etc.. ...so what I am thinking is, why is that the actors go through such intense workouts?? Is it the work ( Film - pressures/ deadlines) or is it something that comes from within!??? This question keeps popping my head, eversince the Death of One of the greatest power Stars Mr.Appu Sir( Puneeth Sir) , I wish if he had just skipped his gym Workout the next day, and visited the hospital the previous night, may be he would have been alive.. 🙏🙏🙏🥺🤧🤦‍♂️😭😭 We need to understand that Film Management needs to give sufficient time to actors pertaining to their Physique and not to hurry up! Cos working out is Fine.. But the Question still arises was their any pressure?? Am sorry No offense to anyone✌✌✌ just sharing my thoughts.. cos we have lost a legend of the south..🙏🙏

Your channel is so informative,thank you.

Eye opener !!! Great job 👏

There is no other humble human as Puneeth rajkumar recently

Appu we always miss your.. Your dance will be missed always 😭

Thank you for this important message, I used to push myself more than normal, I will change from today.🙏🏽

Thank you for your insightful videos, Palki Sharma!

ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಕಣ್ಮಣಿ ಪುನೀತ್ ರಾಜಕುಮಾರ್ ಅಜರಾಮರ ಅಜರಾಮರ ....jockey movie my 💗

That's why our ancestors promoted yoga.. There's no intensive exercises in it.. Only light exercises and some breathing exercises.. 💁🏻‍♂️
