Three Categories of Exercise
Aerobic Exercise
Anaerobic Exercise
Flexibility Exercises
AerobicExercise
Refers to exercise that requires the consumption of substantiallymoreoxygen than at rest. (WithOxygen)
Aerobicexercise is of a light to moderate intensity, and can be undertaken for prolonged duration (many minutes to several hours) without excessive fatigue.
Anaerobic Exercise
Means without oxygen. It consists of brief intense bursts of physical activity. It also helps in building muscle strength, increasing speed, and develop power.

Principles of Exercise
F.I.T.T
Overload

Specificity
Rest and Recovery
What is F.I.T.T.?
F (frequency) - How often do you exercise?
I (Intensity) - How hard do you exercise?
T (Time) - How long do you exercise?
T (type) - What kind of exercise?
Overload
Load or stress to the body should be greater than normal capacity to progress.
Progression
Exercise should be steadily and gradually increased over time.
Specificity
The way you exercise should be specific to what you want to accomplish.
Rest & Recovery
The body requires adequate time to rest and recover between training and exercise sessions to adapt.
