Dictionary definition: Gymnastic exercises designed to develop muscular tone and promote physical well-being.
My definition: Exercises, usually simple, that involve using only your body (no weights, etc.) and are aimed at promoting fitness and health. Examples are push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, you get the point.
I guess that's the general 'American' definition, although I can't guarantee that it reflects the definition of the entire American population. ;) Hope that helped.

A form of exercise or physical training. The military use to use the term for morning workouts. One thing for sure, it's not marital arts.
