exercise programs

Structured physical routines

Exercise programs are structured plans for physical activity, typically combining specific workouts, schedules, and goals.

They range from weight loss regimens to strength training routines to rehabilitation protocols: My doctor recommended a gentle exercise program after the surgery.

The term often appears in marketing for fitness products and gym memberships.
