The purpose of the research is to reveal the influence of different types of health-improving exercises on women’s physical and working ability. Methods of the analysis: the analysis of scientific and scientific methodological resources, pedagogical observation, medical-biological methods, methods of mathematical statistics. Results of the research have proved that Tabata is the most effective kind of health-improving fitness exercises, which increases working ability for 16 %. Zumba is less efficient – 14%. Body Pump exercises demonstrate the lowest level of productivity – 9%. We assume that such quantitative difference is determined by different health directivity and content of the exercises. High efficiency level of those who practice Tabata and Zumba is inherent in the aerobic nature of the exercises. Body Pump exercises are mainly focused on improving body shape, which makes them less effective. In conclusion we may claim that Body Pump, Tabata and Zumba health-improving exercises have a positive influence on women’s physical and working ability.
