There are two types of exercise..........

AEROBIC EXERCISE burns fat. Aerobic exercise involves increased breathing and elevated heart rate over an extended period of time. After about 20 minutes of aerobic exercise, the body needs to use its stored fat reserves as fuel. Aerobic exercise can be fun for both adults and children, and includes the following activities:
       Basketball           Ice Skating         Rugby                     Bicycling
       Jogging               Soccer               Cross-Country         Skiing
       Karate                Swimming          Hockey                    Tennis
       Rollerblading

ANAEROBIC EXERCISE involves short bursts of exertion followed by periods of rest. Bodies develop stronger muscles as the result of anaerobic exercise. Although anaerobic exercise does not burn fat, its muscle-building results complement aerobic exercise (and bigger muscles burn bigger calories). Examples of anaerobic exercise include push ups, stomach crunches, pull ups, and lifting weights. What does the term "fitness" mean to you? To some people, it may mean following a regular exercise routine. To others, it may mean being well toned or muscular. It may mean eating a balanced diet. And still to others, it can mean the ability to excel in athletics or other physical challenges.
