The word gym means naked in greek, where in it has its origin as most of these physical exercises were performed naked on the open ground with only a few clothes on. It included swimming and bathing and other exercises generally taken up by the army and the navy people under the guidance of commanders. Warming up before starting gymnasium is the basic step.
