A machine in obsolescence might not work properly when put to use after a few months. Same is the true for our body. If not used properly, it might lose its flexibility. Let it be a fancy workout in Gym or just casual jogging in Central park, exercising is pretty crucial in life.
Exercises are usually classified into two types-
1) Aerobic – where oxygen involvement is higher because of increased cardiac activity. It includes high activity exercises such as Swimming, Tennis, Running, Jogging, brisk walking etc.
2) Anaerobic- where oxygen involvement is comparatively lower due to ‘slow and steady’ nature of these exercises. Examples include weight lifting, push ups, pull ups and yoga.
A combination of both the types recommended for good health.

•Make sure you have consumed adequate amount of food at least 2 hours before starting physical activity, However, don’t underfeed or overfeed yourself.
