- Activities that increase your heart rate and breathing, such as running, cycling, swimming, and brisk walking.
- Activities that involve working against resistance to build or maintain muscle strength and endurance. This can include weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, and resistance band workouts.
- Exercises that improve the range of motion and flexibility of joints and muscles. Stretching and yoga are common forms . Improved flexibility can enhance overall mobility and reduce the risk of injuries.
- Activities that enhance coordination, balance, and stability. These exercises are particularly important for older adults to prevent falls and maintain functional independence.
- Exercises that mimic or improve activities of daily living, emphasizing movements that are relevant to your daily activities
- Short bursts of intense activity followed by brief periods of rest or lower-intensity activity.
- Regular aerobic exercise, such as running, cycling, or swimming, improves heart and lung health, enhancing cardiovascular endurance and reducing the risk of heart disease.
- It helps in maintaining a healthy body weight and reducing the risk of obesity related conditions.
- Resistance training and weight-bearing exercises help build and maintain muscle strength and endurance.
- Weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, running, and weightlifting, contribute to bone density and help prevent conditions like osteoporosis, particularly important as people age.
- It releases endorphins, which act as natural mood enhancers, and can improve cognitive function and overall mental well-being.
- Stretching and flexibility exercises improve joint mobility, reduce the risk of injury
- Regular physical activity can contribute to improved sleep quality and help regulate sleep patterns.
- It helps reduce levels of stress hormones, promotes relaxation, and provides a healthy outlet for managing life's challenges.
- Moderate and regular exercise has been linked to a strengthened immune system, reducing the risk of illness, and enhancing the body's ability to fight infections.

- diseases and conditions associated with inactivity and poor fitness
- group of health conditions that are associated with insufficient physical activity or a sedentary lifestyle. These diseases are often characterized by a lack of movement and exercise, and they can have significant negative impacts on overall health and well-being.
- are also sometimes referred to as "diseases of inactivity" or "sedentary diseases."
- The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends at least --- minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or -- minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week,
- Physically active people, PERCENT OF lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with inactive people
- In colon cancer, the most active individuals have, on average, a -- lower risk than the least active.
- Women with higher levels of physical activity have about a - lower risk of breast cancer than the least active.
- a form of physical activity that involves continuous and rhythmic activities, primarily designed to improve the efficiency of the cardiovascular system. These exercises elevate the heart rate and breathing, promoting the circulation of oxygenated blood to various parts of the body.
- Aerobic exercises are characterized by sustained, rhythmic movements that engage large muscle groups. These activities are performed over an extended period without significant breaks
- involves short bursts of intense physical activity that don't rely on oxygen for energy. These activities typically target specific muscle groups and aim to build strength, power, and muscle mass.
- are movements in which contracting muscles stay the same length whilst applying a force (the plank).
- causes muscles to shorten as they contract under tension to apply force (upward phase of a bicep curl)
- are the opposite to concentric contractions, muscles lengthen under tension to apply a force (controlled lowering phase of a bicep curl).
