Exercise is an activity that people engage in for leisure but may be converted into some kind of sport. Aerobic started long ago in Greece, for a fact the term is coined from Greek words, which translate to excising while naked in English. Gymnastics in Delaware entails performance of systematized exercises without or with the aid of bars, dumbbells, rings or other apparatuses. Depending on the intended purpose it can be a competitive sport or leisure activity. The main goal is to increase physical conditioning, agility, coordination or strength.

Bodily development in ancient Greeks was achieved through a sequence of exercises comprising of wrestling, weight lifting, swimming, jumping, throwing, and running. Physical fitness was valued for various reasons including preparation of armies for warfare. It was important that soldiers should be able to defend themselves. With time people started practicing for entertainment.

Aerobics is included amongst Olympic Games and athletes are both men and women. Distinct sports such as wrestling, track and field events, and boxing developed from aerobics. Tumble and vault are the only games in the current world, which were initial constituent of the early Greece aerobics. Tumbling developed in separate forms in different cultures with no any kind of outside influence.

China and Egypt had different forms of acrobatics that do not relate to those of Greece, though they have some similarities. Tumbling was performed by traveling troops of dancers, jugglers, and thespians. Various forms of acrobatics and tumbling were finally incorporated into circus. Before gymnastics were performed on international level they were practiced by various circus groups and individuals.

A branch of aerobics called floor exercise was made and coached for health purposes of the trainees. Floor exercising involves practicing with no hand gears such as dumbbells, wands, or clubs. This category of gymnastic was primarily not created for competition purposes but has gradually changed into what most people call floor gymnastic. Floor exercise nowadays is an Olympic event since its invention in 1932.

Rings, horizontal bar, pommel horse, vaulting, and parallel rings were among the first events to be competed at international level in 18s. Men events were first included on the Olympic schedule in the 18s. Women events were later introduced in the 19s. They competed in similar events except for the balance beam, which was exclusively contested by women.

Aerobic championships are hosted at different levels ranging from school, university, club, college, international to national competitions. Modern aerobics features 6 events for male athletes and 4 events for female athletes. Men events lay emphasis on upper body flexibility and strength along with aerobics. Women events include vaulting horse, floor exercise, balance beam, and uneven bars.

Anyone above the age of sixteen falls under senior group. Most athletes start their training while young and achieve the highest level of physical fitness in their early 20s or late teenage-hood.
