Summary Introduction

To determine: The advantages of a lifestyle that involves regular exercise.

Introduction: Exercise includes doing any type of physical activity that is known to either increase or maintains the physical fitness and overall health of the individual.

The aerobic exercise increases cardiovascular endurance because it enables the body to use increased amounts of oxygen than normal. Anaerobic exercise helps in strengthening and increasing muscle mass. Flexibility exercises helps in stretching and lengthening the muscles.
