The Three Distinct Versions of Exercise

Second Wind Fitness with Brock Armstrong

When we choose to walk to the store instead of driving there, we might be heard saying that we are “getting some exercise.” When we go to the gym or any fitness class, we go there to exercise. When we start training for a marathon, we again think or talk about it in terms of doing some sort of exercise.

While all of these statements are mostly accurate, at least to a certain extent, I think this line of thinking gets us in trouble. And not just semantic trouble that confuses people who are learning English as a second language but actual fitness-confusion kind of trouble. So I propose that we look at fitness in a different way.

To that end, let me introduce you to three (not so) new labels for exercise: Movement, Workouts, and Training. And in that order.
