Workout

A workout is a session in which physical exercise is performed. This can range from strength training, aerobic exercise, stretching, or a combination of these. The purpose of a workout can vary from improving fitness, losing weight, building muscle, or for sports training.

Types of Workouts[edit | edit source]

There are several types of workouts, each with their own specific goals and methods.

Strength Training[edit | edit source]

Strength training is a type of physical exercise that uses resistance to induce muscular contraction, which builds strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles.

Aerobic Exercise[edit | edit source]

Aerobic exercise is physical exercise of low to high intensity that depends primarily on the aerobic energy-generating process.

Stretching[edit | edit source]

Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon is deliberately flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle's felt elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone.

Benefits of Workouts[edit | edit source]

Regular workouts have numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, increased strength and flexibility, weight management, and improved mental health.
