Please contact your doctor before you use this information.

Brisk walking or Speed walking
As you know this exercise involves walking. Not just normal walking but, walking fast. this is a low intensity aerobic exercise that can help anyone to be fit, and healthy, especially, if it's done consistently.

Jogging or Slow running
Jogging is a very beneficial aerobic exercise. it involves running at a slow sustained speed for a long time, (this will depend on the runner). the benefits include increased breathing, increased physical agility, endurance and strength  as regards jogging the Encarta encyclopedia states " the average person can derive health benefits from as little as three 20- minutes running workouts a week". So one does not have to jog everyday, just a 20 minute jog three times a week is sufficient.
Today, one does not even have leave his or her house to jog, with inventions like the treadmill one can jog anytime. Please know that jogging should be done properly as one could injure joints and muscles if one does not jog in the proper way.

Sprinting or Speed running
this is a high intensity anaerobic exercise. it involves running very fast for a short period of time. unlike jogging which helps the body take in a lot of oxygen. sprinting is an exercise that makes the body lack oxygen and if the body lacks oxygen it becomes tired. this is the reason why one becomes tired, grasping for air after one runs very fast.
Sprinting has a lot of benefits
1. sprinting helps exercise the heart
2. sprinting helps reduce weight
3. it increases agility and strength

SWIMMING
Swimming is another effective exercise that helps one reduce. when one swims he or she works the whole body, with less strain on joints and muscles.
swimming is a very fun activity and if one does not know how to swim he or she can take lessons. swimming is for everyone, but, please know that, for safety reasons, it's advisable  not to swim alone.

WEIGHTLIFTING
Weight is another anaerobic exercise which, involves lifting metal weights. this exercise builds muscles, reduces excess body fat and increases bone density if done correctly.

There are still more aerobic and anaerobic exercises which will be discussed later.
