to answer the original post

 

now, I am not a person who can afford to do what friend no. 1 can do...i got work. Can there be an alternative exercise regimen for office workers to keep a healthy body (no hypertension, controllable cholesterol level, good heart condition)....

 

the answer is simple

 

eat clean - stay away from highly processed food, avoid sugar, avoid food that turns into sugar, eat more vegetables

 

move your body - it doesn't matter what you do, whether its brisk walking, taking the stairs, body weight exercises, kettlebells, TRX, yoga, sports, etc. just move your body. The human body isn't wired to spend 8 hours a day just sitting down.

 

hydrate - try and keep the minimum of 8 glasses of water per day. It cleanses the body, keeps your digestive system in good shape (less constipation), lubricates the joints, etc.

 

sleep - this is very important. a lot of things happen when you sleep such as regenerating damaged tissue, relax muscles and organs, building new muscle, creating new hormones. get a good night's rest always, it helps more than you think.

 

take vitamins to fit your lifestyle.

 

 

that should do it if you're not really looking to build an athlete's body or generate a certain degree of physical preparedness, but rather just want to keep healthy body.

 

this is basically the equivalent of keeping your car in good running condition like regular oil changes, brake replacements, making sure all the fluids are at optimum levels in the like. If you can do that for your car, there's no reason you can't do that to your body.

 

Building an elite level athlete however, is a totally different story.

Body weight exercises are a great alternative. A lot of people under estimate body weight exercises. But really, it's BS when people say they don't have the time to go the gym or spend lots of money on those "Globo" gyms with all those fancy treadmill and "state of the art" machines. Any gym that has barbells/dumbbells in it, will give you better results than spending 2-3 hours on those fancy machines.
