Aerobic exercise is any of various sustained exercises, as jogging, rowing, swimming, or cycling, that

stimulate and strengthen the heart and lungs, thereby improving the body's utilization of oxygen and any
system of sustained exercises designed to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood and strengthen
the heart and lungs.

Resistance exercise is any form of exercise that forces your skeletal muscles (not the involuntary muscles
of your heart, lungs, etc.) to contract. An external resistance (such as heavy weights) is used to cause the
contractions, and those contractions lead to increases in muscular mass, strength, endurance and tone
and a form of exercise that improves muscular strength and endurance.

Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon (or muscle group) is
deliberately flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle's felt elasticity and achieve comfortable
muscle tone.The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion and
designed to increase joint range of motion or extensibility of pathologically shortened connective tissue
structures.
