Aerobic & Anaerobic
Physical exercise is the performance of some activity to develop or maintain physical fitness and overall health. It is often directed toward also honing athletic ability or skill.

Exercises are generally grouped into three types depending on the overall effect they have on the human body:
- Flexibility exercises such as stretching improves the range of motion of muscles and joints.
- Aerobic exercises such as cycling, walking and running focus on increasing cardiovascular endurance.
- Anaerobic exercises such as weight training, functional training or sprinting increases short-term muscle strength.
