Isometric Exercise
Isometric exercises involve contracting a muscle or group of muscles without moving the joint around them. Examples: Plank, wall sit, and holding a yoga pose.
Strength Training
Strength training involves exercises that improve muscular fitness by exercising a specific muscle or muscle group against external resistance. Examples: Weight lifting, resistance band exercises, and bodyweight exercises like push-ups.
Dynamic Stretching
Dynamic stretching involves moving parts of your body and gradually increasing reach, speed of movement, or both, in a controlled manner. Examples: Leg swings, arm circles, and torso twists.
Static Stretching
Static stretching involves holding a stretch in a comfortable position for a period of time, typically between 15 to 60 seconds. Examples: Hamstring stretch, quadriceps stretch, and calf stretch.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
High-Intensity Interval Training involves short bursts of intense exercise alternated with low-intensity recovery periods. Examples: Sprinting for 30 seconds followed by 1 minute of walking, repeated for 15-20 minutes.
Cardiovascular Exercise
Cardiovascular exercises are aerobic activities that increase your heart rate and help improve the efficiency of your circulatory system. Examples: Running, cycling and swimming.
Flexibility Exercise
Flexibility exercises are designed to increase the range of motion of muscles and joints. Examples: Stretching routines, yoga poses, and pilates.
Plyometric Exercise
Plyometric exercises are explosive movements that increase power (speed and strength). Examples: Jump squats, box jumps, and clap push-ups.
Circuit Training
Circuit training is a form of body conditioning combining resistance training with high-intensity aerobics, structured with a sequence of exercises. Examples: A mix of squat jumps, push-ups, and burpees with minimal rest between exercises.
Balance Exercises
Balance exercises improve stability by training your body to control the position of your center of gravity. Examples: Single-leg stands, BOSU ball exercises, and balance boards.
