Helps to strengthen your heart and lungs and burn fat and calories. It is called "aerobic" training because it is the type of prolonged exercise during which your muscles use oxygen. The intensity of the workout can be measured by the exerciser's pulse rate.
Examples of aerobic training include aerobics or step classes, skipping rope, stepping on a stepper machine, walking, jogging or running, rowing, swimming, and biking. Additionally dumbbells and ankle & wrist weights can be used while performing aerobic activity to increase the intensity of the activity, upping the heart rate and thereby burning more fat and calories. The benefits of aerobic training are many and include:
Skipping ropes are an excellent and easy way to get fit and stay fit. Keep one in your suitcase, your briefcase, the boot of your car ... no more excuses! For an invigorating aerobic workout, try doing 20 minutes of alternating skipping for 1-2 minutes with jogging in place for 1-2 minutes.
To increase the fat burning potential of any aerobic workout, use light weights on your wrists or ankles. Gold's Gym Aerobic Neoprene Wrist Weights are a good choice.
