aerobics
Aerobics is a very dynamic sport where quick movements are performed on some rhythmic music. This discipline works mostly the lower body muscles, but it also strengthens and tones the bust.

One hour of practice can burn between 600 and 1000 calories depending on the intensity of the effort and the weight of the person. This activity is recommended for beginners and those who have back, knee or quadriceps tendons problems.

What are the benefits of this form of exercise to your health? Whatever your age, your weight or athletic ability, aerobics is good for you. When your body adapts to regular aerobic workouts, you will become stronger and more effective. Doing aerobic exercise can help you feel better and enjoy life to the fullest. Are are some good reasons to do regular aerobics.

Lose the extra pounds. Following a healthy, balanced diet and doing aerobic exercise can help you lose weight and not take those extra pounds.

Increase your stamina. Aerobic exercise can tire you in the short term. But in the long run you get more endurance and get less tired during physical exertion.

Avoid viral diseases. Your active aerobics will make your immune system stronger. This makes you less likely to be contaminated with minor viral illnesses such as colds and flus.

Reduce health risks. Fitness and aerobics reduce the risk of many diseases, including obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart attacks and certain types of cancer. Also doing aerobic exercises that involve holding a weight, such as walking (which is the weight of your body), reduces the risk of ostéropose.

Manage chronic diseases. Fitness and aerobics help to lower blood pressure and control blood sugar. If you have already had a heart attack, doing aerobic exercise helps prevent further attacks.

Strengthen your heart. A stronger heart does not necessarily need to beat faster. A stronger heart also pumps blood more efficiently, which improves blood circulation flowing to all parts of your body.

Keep your arteries clean. Aerobic exercise increases HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) and lowers LDL (bad cholesterol). The potential result? Less accumulation of plaque in your arteries.

Boost your mood. Fitness and aerobics can help relieve the gloom of depression, reduce the stress and anxiety and help you relax, all to improve your mood.

Stay active and independent as you age. Aerobics keeps your muscles strong, which can help maintain your mobility when you get older. Fitness and aerobics can also keep your mind sharp. Aerobics at least 30 minutes 3 days a week seems to reduce cognitive decline in older people. The people doing aerobic exercise regularly seem to live longer than those who do not regularly.

Fitness and aerobics are physical activities without danger to most people, but sometimes it is important to first get approval from your doctor, especially if you have a chronic illness. When you are ready to start doing aerobics, start slowly. You could walk 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes in the evening. The next day, add a few minutes each session walking. Increase the speed a bit too. Soon, you can walk to a brisk pace for at least 30 minutes a day, and then reap all the benefits of regular aerobic activity.

Skiing, aerobic dance (such as Zumba for example), swimming, biking, jogging, rowing or doing the elliptical and stair climbing are other aerobic options. If you have a health problem that limits your ability to do aerobic exercise, ask your doctor about alternatives. If you have arthritis, for example, the exercises performed in the water can make you enjoy the benefits of aerobic activity without putting strain on your joints.
