I started back into playing my Acoustic guitar and was thinking about this topic: Is it healthy to play guitar? Does it count as decent exercise? If so what does it benefit?


Answer
It's healthier than sitting around the house watching TV or playing XBox. It keeps your mind alert and active and should be a good stress reliever. Apart from that, though, it doesn't count as "exercise" the way that going for a jog or doing aerobics or lifting weights would do.

There are some health risks with playing guitar, too, though; stretch out carefully and develop good technique when playing, or you can get into carpal tunnel, tendonitis, and repetitive stress fractures in your hands and forearms.
