How much aerobics?
The consensus on aerobic exercise is that basically it serves as one possible method of creating a calorie deficit. If the individual decides to create this deficit by restricting calories, or by adding aerobics, or a more moderate combination of both, the difference in fat burning will be negligible. Calorie intake versus calorie expenditure does seem to be the bottom line. A: The question of how much aerobics and their necessity is a topic of ongoing discussion on the list. It seems to be a matter of individual response and preference. Some feel optimal fat loss, particularly to very low, i.e. competition levels, requires some degree of aerobics. Cardiovascular conditioning is a concern of some, but it should be noted that low intensity aerobics do very little to improve this conditioning.
