What is Aerobics?
Aerobic activities such as dancing, cycling, swimming and race-walking develop increased oxygen transportation and utilization. The word “aerobic” means “with oxygen” and indicates that the energy produced to do the work utilizes an oxygen system.
An ideal duration goal for aerobic exercise is 20-45 minutes, frequency of 3-5 times a week, based on your fitness level. Use the “talk-test” to check for ideal intensity level. You should be able to carry on a short conversation without becoming winded. If you can sing an opera, you’re not working hard enough! It is important to start your program slowly and gradually increase your exercise load.
