Egzersizi

Egzersizi is the Turkish noun form that refers to the act or a specific instance of exercise. The base word egzersiz originates from French exercice, and the suffix -i marks definiteness or possession in Turkish, producing egzersizi, meaning “the exercise” (or “the exercises” in context). In Turkish usage, the term covers planned physical activities aimed at improving health, fitness, or rehabilitation.

Egzersizi encompasses various modalities, including cardiovascular (aerobic) activities such as walking, running, cycling; resistance or strength training such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises; flexibility and mobility routines; and balance training. A typical egzersizi plan combines these elements to address different fitness components.

Structure of a session: warm-up, main activity, cool-down. For cardio, intervals may be used; for strength, sessions include sets and repetitions with progressive resistance. Equipment ranges from none to machines or free weights.

Benefits: improves cardiovascular health, muscular strength, bone density, metabolic control, mental well-being, and weight management. Safety: start gradually, learn proper technique, use appropriate equipment, stay hydrated, and consult a clinician if you have chronic conditions or risk factors.

Practical use: can be performed at home or in a gym; guidelines typically suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, plus two strength-training sessions, with adjustments for age and ability.
