Kindly furnish the insights of srila prabhupada being not so supportive of allowing his disciple in over exercising . This question is asked in the light of current trend of or flood of so called health fitness centers operating across metro cities . Are these gyms good for health ? i am sure Srila prabhupada might have given some valuable instructions and guidance disallowing his disciples in indulging in such meaningless expedition .

Yoga asanas, pranayamas, are based on scriptures consider to be helpful in spiritual progress.

Eat sadvik food covering all nutritions , vitamin, minerals (not up to throat :-)), minimum fat intake , eat almonds,anjeer,kismis daily , Chant regularly ,read spiritual books, anulom vilom and kapalbhati Pranayam /light full body stretching exercise/walking/swimming will do and is recommended to maintain good health which directly effects our consciousness . No need of gym for body building. It makes people more body conscious.
Eating more and more then spending time on gym for weight reduction is for those who can't balance sadvik life.
Thanks !
