How it Works

FINDING EXERCISES (see diagram below)

	Click the "Exercises" button on the main menu to bring up the exercises search page.
	Choose an exercise category on the exercises sub menu to further locate the types of exercises you wish to learn.
	Exercises come in 3 difficulty levels (beginner, intermediate & advanced). If you have just started exercising, you may wish to limit your search to beginner exercises. You can do this by clicking on the small button beside the symbol. If you have been exercising moderatly for a while, you may wish to limit your search to intermediate exercises. Click the small button beside the symbol to limit your search to only intermediate exercises. If you have good experience exercising and want a good challenge, then advanced exercises may be for you. Click the button to limit searches to advanced exercises only.
	When you locate the exercise you want to learn, click the "Get Exercise" button located under the exercise picture icon.
	Each exercise has a name, description, additional exercise information & access requirements. Type: Displays the difficulty level of the exercise (Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced). Equipment:: Displays whether the exercise requires equipment or not. If the exercise requires equipment, a "show details" link will appear beside the equipment area. Click on "show details" to launch a small window that displays the equipment necessary to perform the exercise. In some cases, equipment will be marked as "Optional". In these cases, launch the "show details" window to see several options of equipment or even household items that can be used to perform the exercise.
