exercises

Gym session activities

Exercises are activities designed to develop or maintain physical fitness, skill, or knowledge.

Physical exercises strengthen the body: morning exercises, breathing exercises.

Mental exercises sharpen the mind.

An exercise can also be a task assigned for practice: grammar exercises, piano exercises.

Military exercises are training maneuvers.

To exercise is to perform such activities, or more broadly, to put something into practice: exercise caution, exercise your rights.

The whole meeting felt like an exercise in futility.
