Meditation can be practiced by anyone out there, because it is simple and inexpensive since it doesn't call for any special equipment.
It is also possible to meditate in wherever you are currently; being it the office, the bedroom or the bus.
In the simplest terms possible, it can be explained as a thorough or complete state of thoughtless awareness.
In most cases, meditation is often seen as an act of sitting down quietly to relax and ponder but in real sense, it is a state of a reflective, deep peace, that can only happen when the mind is totally calm and still.
When this happens, then it opens doors for inner transformation that can only take one to a higher level of awareness.
This is how our true potential as humans is accomplished.

Exercises can also, not be described as meditation and neither can they be described as a mental effort.
Postures and breathing may be part of meditating but do not necessarily represent it.
