Types of Exercises
In general, there are 4 types of exercises:
– Aerobic exercises, such as swimming, jogging, cycling, and walking, involves continuous and repeated movement of large muscles on the body. These activities mainly rely on the aerobic energy-producing systems.
– Resistance exercises, such as body weight, weight machines, or free weights
– Balance exercises help prevent falls and benefit gait
– Flexibility exercises improve the range of motion around joints
Some activities like yoga and tai chi combine resistance, balance, and flexibility exercises. [4]
