What does aerobic exercise mean?
Aerobic or endurance training consists of dynamic exercise, which involves high-repetition movements against low resistance. Examples include the vigorous activities listed above. Aerobic exercises involve rhythmic contraction and relaxation of working muscles. This results in increased blood flow to active muscles during relaxation and increased blood flow to the heart during muscle contraction. Regular aerobic exercise will allow you to eventually exercise for a longer duration and/or at a higher work rate. Even low-intensity, less vigorous exercise can have some long-term health benefits, if performed daily. These activities will also help lower your risk of heart disease.
