Experts Advise Caution for Outdoor Exercise Amid Delhi-NCR's High Air Pollution Levels
Delhi-NCR is experiencing very poor to severe air quality, with AQI levels reaching above 400 in some areas, raising health concerns for outdoor exercise.

Alternatives like indoor workouts, treadmill running, and indoor cycling are recommended to maintain fitness while minimizing exposure to harmful pollutants such as PM2.5. Caution is urged for those with pre-existing respiratory conditions.
