body conditioning
Systematic exercise regimen
Body conditioning is exercise aimed at improving overall physical fitness—strength, endurance, flexibility, and muscle tone.
The term appears in gym classes, fitness programs, and athletic training: The team does body conditioning twice a week.
Unlike workouts targeting specific skills, body conditioning builds general physical readiness.
