What is an aerobic exercise?
Aerobic means oxygen. Your muscles are working in an oxygen rich state. After 12 minutes it causes your body to produce FAT-burning enzymes. According to Covert Baily, an aerobic exercise is one that fits the following four requirements. • Is steady, nonstop. • Lasts twelve minutes minimum. • Has a comfortable pace. • Uses the muscles of the lower body. An easy way to measure if your training too hard/fast is a simple talk test. If you can’t carry on a conversation without huffing and puffing for breath you need to slow down. If you can carry on a conversation without stopping every now and then for a breath then you need to go a little faster. You have to be doing some work. Your heart rate and your breathing needs to be elevated. Examples: walking/running, cycling, rowing, stair climbing, dancing.
