This will give balance to your regiment, making it easier to build muscle, lose fat, and remain fit:

Aerobic These exercises will work to increase your endurance, and will raise your heart and breathing rates. Out of all the exercises, these will help your cardiovascular health the most. Activities such as dancing, swimming, jogging, and playing basketball fall in this category.

Strength These exercises work to increase your muscle mass. Even small changes here will make a huge difference. Lifting weights and using a resistance band will work here.

Balance Starting out with balance exercises will help you all throughout your life. Lower body strength exercises will increase your balance as well. Try standing on one foot or Tai Chi to accomplish this.

Flexibility These types of exercises will stretch your muscles, keeping them in the best working shape. This can increase your muscles capacity, making it easier for other activities to be accomplished. Try yoga to increase your flexibility.
