Aerobic Exercise
will benefit your Health

Aerobic exercise is a light activity that usually lasts 20-30 minutes, while maintaining about 60% of your maximum heart rate. These activities include walking, jogging, running, biking, stair climbing, swimming and rowing. The above activities are easy to perform and should provide good benefits.

To choose a specific exercise depends on your goal and what you enjoy. Once you have chosen an activity, you need to set up a program, which will include how long, how hard and how often to workout.

In general, you should exercise 3-5 days per week for about 20-60 minutes. If weight loss is your goal, it would be better to do 5 sessions per week.

Increase the length of the workout, sessions per week and the difficulty gradually. This is especially true, if you are just starting out, are overweight or elderly.

A warm up and cool down period is important to reduce the chance of injury.

If you want to improve your health and want to feel better, do regular exercise at any intensity level.
