Hello all doctors,
All these pandemic days make many people to stick to the home and tight working schedules,I also fall under the same category. Working as software developer for me, All these days have been very stressed and and lesser activity for body, this causing me to gain weight around 10 kgs from 70 to 80 kgs. Keeping all these in mind I decided to do some activity for body and started swimming one hour a day which I felt something peaceful but, Due to winter I could not put much efforts for this swimming. I am planning to go to gym which is something I never did before, Here I am seeking for some suggestions that what kind of gym activities I need to do(cardiology, strength etc.), Do I need any Full body check up as precaution?. Hope I will get some help here.

Swimming is the best exercise ever that you have started already. you can continue doing that later on.
As you told that you can't continue due to climatic conditions you can try cycling initially for half an hour twice a day if possible.
simple warm-up exercise will do inbetween your work schedule.
try to do relaxation exercise once or twice in a day which will help to reduce work pressure.
jackobson's relaxation exercise will cover the whole body parts so you can try that.
