Brief Answer:
Aerobics, Cardio for now

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

Tingling of the fingers could indicate Electrolyte disturbance or possible nerve compression in the cervical spine in the neck.

Avoid lifting weights overhead or above shoulder level. Perform neck and shoulder strengthening exercises. Do get tested for Serum Calcium, Serum Albumin and Serum Phosphorus. Do get an Xray of the cervical spine as well.

You can do aerobics, cardio and Yoga within comfortable limits for now till you get the reports to the tests.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr.Aashish Raghu
