Exploring Workout Types
There are endless ways to move your body and improve your fitness. Understanding different types of exercises and workouts can help you choose the best ones for your lifestyle and goals.
Exercise generally falls into three main categories:
Cardiovascular, strength training, and flexibility. Each type offers unique benefits but also has limitations, so incorporating a balance of several different exercises can help you optimize your physical wellbeing. Before making any changes to your exercise habits, it is important to discuss your health risks with your provider first.
Cardiovascular (Cardio) Workouts:
Cardio workouts strengthen the heart and lungs while improving endurance and overall cardiovascular health. Benefits include improved body composition and better mood due to the release of feel-good chemicals called endorphins. Be sure to start slow with low-impact exercises like walking or cycling and use caution with high-impact workouts, such as running or calisthenics. Allow enough time for rest between bouts of activity to reduce the risk of joint strain or injury.
Examples of cardiovascular exercises:
- Running and jogging
- Walking
- Cycling
- Swimming
- High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
- Boot camps
- Group fitness classes (Zumba, spin, dance)
- Aerobics
Strength Training:
This type of training focuses on building muscle, increasing bone density, and boosting metabolism. Benefits include increased muscle mass and strength, improved posture, and improved functional fitness (everyday activities). Improper form or overtraining can lead to injuries, though, so use proper techniques and get professional guidance when needed. A good rule of thumb is to allow at least one rest day before working the same muscle group.
