Aerobic, meaning ‘with oxygen’ is a term that was developed in the sixties when scientists realized that people with physical strength didn’t necessarily have the ability to, for example, run long distances. . Today the term ‘aerobic’ brings to mind the fat burning exercises associated with cardiovascular activities that require a person to do sustained activity at a 60-85% of their maximum heart rate. Aerobic workouts increase lung capacity, strengthen the heart muscle so it takes less energy to pump blood through the body, and improve overall endurance and health. 

Aerobic Benefits:

• Increase your stamina and reduce fatigue.
• Aerobic exercises stimulates your immune system, leaving you less susceptible to minor viral illnesses, such as colds and the flu.
• Reduce health risks such as obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and certain types of cancer.
• Manage chronic conditions. Aerobic exercise helps lower high blood pressure and control blood sugar.
• Strengthen your heart. A stronger heart pumps blood more efficiently, which improves blood flow to all parts of your body.
• Boost your mood. Aerobic exercise can ease the gloominess of depression, reduce the tension associated with anxiety and promote relaxation.
• Aerobic exercise keeps your muscles strong, which can help you maintain mobility as you get older. ~Aerobic exercise also keeps your mind sharp.
