How Is Training Different from Exercise?

Problem scenario
You work out regularly at a fitness gym. Is exercise the same as training?

Answer
Exercise is physical activity. Training involves a long-term goal designed to achieve results that will include regular physical activity. Training would include progressively more weights for specific lifts and/or cardio that is increasingly intense or longer in duration.
