Fitness Exercises

Fitness exercises help increase your endurance and stamina. Vigorous activities (Aerobic activities) such as  brisk walking, jogging, cycling, dancing, swimming along with many sports like football, tennis, badminton etc. improve fitness. The improvement can be seen after a few weeks of regular, fairly, hard exercise i.e.  30 minutes of  aerobic activity every day. However, the level of fitness soon declines if the exercise regime is abandoned.
