About Exercise Explorer

Exercise Explorer is a catalogue of 244 ways to exercise, with a short guide to help you choose where to start.

How the matching works

Each regime is tagged with its typical session length, how often it is usually done, effort, cost, equipment, impact on joints, suitable age bands, how much discipline it takes, and what it is good for. The guide filters out regimes that do not fit your answers and ranks the rest by how many of your goals they serve.

What it is not

It is not medical advice and does not know your health. Suitability ratings are editorial judgements, not clinical assessments. Detailed, sourced guidance is being added category by category. Every category now has detailed guidance. Regimes without it say so.

Sister sites

Exercise Explorer is the third in a family with Gut Microbiome Explorer and Nutrient Explorer.
