 As a general guide, gym workouts are made up of three components:
1. Aerobic/cardiovascular exercises, which increase the workload of the heart and lungs, make the heart and circulation more effective.
2. Resistance work, which strengthens the muscles and bones - this helps control weight. Any weight-bearing exercise is useful in the prevention of osteoporosis.
3. Stretching relaxes the muscles and aids suppleness.
