What is aerobics?

Apparently, we all know what aerobics is, and what it is for; however, only few of us have the patience to do the routines. Now let's talk about aerobics and let us be convinced that it is an effective way of keeping our body healthy.

wikipedia says...

"Aerobics is a form of physical exercise that combines rhythmic aerobic exercise with stretching and strength training routines with the goal of improving all elements of fitness (flexibility, muscular strength, and cardio-vascular fitness). It is usually performed to music and may be practiced in a group setting led by an instructor, although it can be done solo and without musical accompaniment. With the goal of preventing illness and promoting physical fitness, practitioners perform various routines comprising a number of different dance-like exercises. Formal aerobics classes are divided into different levels of intensity and complexity. Aerobics classes may allow participants to select their level of participation according to their fitness level. Many gyms offer a wide variety of aerobic classes for participants to take. Each class is designed for a certain level of experience and taught by a certified instructor with a specialty area related to their particular class."

What does aerobics do with your body?

It helps you produce and maintain an elevated heart rate for a prolonged period of time, so as the pumping will have an increased amount of oxygen-rich blood to the active muscles. Some aerobic activities that can be done are swimming, running, and cycling. These can improve your body's use of oxygen, which can later allow your heart to work less strenuously.
