A child cannot exercise quite the same way as an adult, and a pregnant women or older person should be aware of certain pitfalls.

Kids

Teens
Teens need exercise, although they may try to convince you otherwise.

Pregnancy
Women used to be advised to stop exercising during pregnancy. But in recent years, things have changed a bit.

Women
Exercise is vital for women, not just for weight management and a toned body, but because of its psychological benefits.

Male
With the correct training regime, a man can change the shape of his body within six weeks.

Seniors
