The word “aerobic” may conjure thoughts of leg warmers, leotards and those intense exercise videos from the eighties, but aerobic training are any activities that raise heart rate and make breathing somewhat harder. When done regularly, your body reaps benefits that go far beyond just heart health.
Aerobic Training is suggested that an adolescence must engage in a total 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activites every day. An exercise at moderate to vigorous intesity will elevate the hear rate and breathing significantly.
What are the examples of Aerobic Training Exercise?

Importance of Aerobics
- First and foremost, doing aerobics increases cardiorespiratory fitness, which is one of the five essential components of physical fitness. Cardiorespiratory fitness is the ability of the body’s circulatory systems to maintain oxygen levels and supply fuel during sustained physical activity.
- The importance of aerobics goes beyond your body’s internal processes, however. If you are not aerobically fit, you’re going to feel it as you go about your day. Maintaining aerobics fitness can help you to experience a better quality of life, because life’s daily activities become that much easier when you can perform daily tasks – like walking up the stairs without getting winded or chasing down a toddler who saw his chance to make a break for it and took it.
Health Effects of Aerobic Activity
Those are just a few of the noticeable benefits of aerobic activity. Some are more subtle and can be counted by what doesn’t happen or what it prevents.
- Can avoid heart disease and other cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses.
- Can lower the incidence of high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
- Getting regular aerobic exercise increases bone density, which helps to prevent the loss in bone mineralization that leads to osteoporosis.
- It strengthens your immune system.
- Aerobic exercise can help prevent and control type 2 diabetes by decreasing your body’s insulin requirements and controlling blood glucose.
“Take a moment to make a commitment to yourself. Think of all the ways aerobic exercise can improve your life, and come up with a workout schedule that fits your preferences and lifestyle.”
