Exercise Exercise Physical Fitness Physical Fitness Programs Exercise is the performance of certain physical activities to tone and condition the body and to improve the state of health. There are many benefits, both physical and psychological, to regular exercise.
Exercise enables a person to stay physically fit.
However, it is important to remember that physical fitness and good health are not the same, although one influences the other. Healthy people may be physically unfit because they do not exercise regularly. Physically fit people perform their usual tasks easily without tiring and still have energy for other interests. Better physical performance, however, is only one benefit of exercise. Regular vigorous exercise also increases the efficiency and capacity of the heart and lungs.
