Aerobic

Aerobics is a form of exercise, typically performed to music, often in a group setting with a leader, although it can be practiced solo and without musical accompaniment. Aerobics comprises stretching, strength training, and aerobic exercise components in order to improve all elements of fitness.



Within each 'unit' (units being flexibility, strength training and aerobic workout), practitioners go through variable routines comprising a number of different exercises. Proponents of aerobics cite staving off boredom and working out the whole body as two of the advantages of aerobics over other types of exercise. The reputedly higher safety factor inherent in a fitness routine led and overseen by a trained professional is another.

Yoga as Fitness

Yoga is a group of ancient spiritual practices originating in India. As a general term in Hinduism, Gavin Flood,
the OCHS (Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies) Academic Director, defines it as referring to "technologies or disciplines of asceticism and meditation which are thought to lead to spiritual experience and profound understanding or insight into the nature of existence."

Outside India, Yoga has become primarily associated with the practice of asanas (postures) of Hatha Yoga (see Yoga as exercise), although it has influenced the entire dharmic religions family and other spiritual practices throughout the world.

Yoga is most ancient kind of Fitness.
