00:00Doing exercises on a daily basis or at least sometimes in a week is very important in keeping

00:14our physical and mental health in a good way.

00:17Now what are the types of exercises and these exercises should be tailored to different

00:23body types?

00:25And the answer for this is definitely yes.

00:27There are three major categories of exercises which are broadly named like aerobic exercises,

00:34anaerobic exercises, and agility exercises.

00:38The aerobic exercises work mainly on handling or delivery of the oxygen properly to the

00:45body tissues, especially the important organs like the heart and the brain.

00:51The second kind of exercise is the anaerobic exercises which usually work in the non-oxygenated

00:58part which is the increasing of the body mass or the muscle mass.

01:04And this is for the people who need only to increase their body mass and to burn fat in

01:12their bodies.

01:13And the third type of exercise is the agility exercise which is needed by the people who

01:17do other regular sports like cutting-edge sports and changing directions, need coordination

01:25like tennis, football, squash, cricket.

01:29People who do this exercise usually need to have some other exercise to be able to change

01:36direction to keep the coordination between the brain signals and the body reactions to

01:41these activities.

01:42Next point is what is the duration needed to do this exercise?

01:47As we told before, it depends on the kind or the type of the exercise.

01:50If we do the aerobic exercise which is usually like simple walk, simple mild uphill cycling

01:58or little cardio exercise, this should be mild to moderate intensity and should be around

02:0620 minutes, then have a break, then can resume back.

02:10And if we go to the anaerobic exercise which is high power exercise like lifting heavy

02:16weights like jumping with high jump with rope or doing any marathons or something like this

02:25should be shorter time like 2 minutes then resume to maintain the blood flow properly

02:32to the vital organs.

02:35And the other agility exercise will be depending on the intensity of the other sport like tennis

02:42or football.

02:43So, this should be programmed with the coach or with the teacher who teach how much time

02:49needed to do that.

02:50Next, we will talk about the benefit of the exercise.

02:54Does it affect the heart rate and the fat burn and metabolic rate?

03:01Yes, definitely.

03:02As we told the aerobic exercise work on oxygenation of the tissues, so this delivers proper oxygen

03:08to the vital organs like the heart and the brain as we told which improves the heart

03:13rate, reduce the blood pressure, reduce the risk of getting type 2 diabetes, reduce the

03:21risk of getting strokes or cardiovascular disease and increase the bone mass and reduce

03:30the chance of getting osteoporosis.

03:34Regarding the fat burn, the anaerobic exercise work as we told in anaerobic condition, so

03:42it means that the body burns the fat to get the proper mass power and this improves the

03:50metabolic rate.
