The Benefits of Aerobic Activity

The Benefits of Aerobic Activity
Aerobics has been the traditional form of working out for
so many years that now many people are trying to get away
from it because they are either bored of it or think these
fad exercises are more effective. Of course change is very
important in an exercise regime because the moment you get
bored with your exercise routine you have no motivation to
do it and therefore you stop working out eventually. There
are so many different types of aerobic activities today to
choose from that you are bound to find one you like and
even several you can alternate between.

Aerobic activity which is integrated into a workout class
is perhaps one of the best ways to experience aerobics.
When you are in a class with others who are feeling just as
nervous and reluctant as you this can actually increase
your motivation and with an instructor guiding you there is
no time to back out once the class has started. If you find
you get started and then quit after only a few minutes than
taking a class would be great for you.

Some of the benefits aerobic activity can produce for you
include:

Increased heart rate Enhances your body's energy levels and
delivers more oxygen to the muscles Heart beats faster and
increases the blood flow to your muscles and then back to
your lungs

Aerobics literally means "with oxygen" and your body's
aerobic system is you heart, lungs and blood vessels. The
main benefit of aerobic activity is how well your body can
deliver oxygen to your muscles and use it for energy.
Therefore aerobic activity increases your ability to
transport and take in that oxygen to ultimately increase
your cardio abilities.

A good aerobic activity such as a step class or even just
plain cardio can help you live a longer and healthier life.
The key to any aerobic activity is making it fun for
yourself because these benefits are something we all need
to experience in our lives. To get the best results of any
aerobic activity is to participate with moderate to low
intensity levels in short durations are first and then
increase your durations, not your intensity, as you feel
yourself progressing. Keeping a lower workout intensity is
the key way to see the wieght loss results you are looking
for.

The best way to stay motivated during any type of aerobic
activity is to listen to your favorite music, educational
books on tape and try to watch your favorite televisions
shows to keep your mind occupied before it tries to slow
you down. You will find with nothing to distract you, the
longer you work out the easier it will become to want to
quit early but by listening to music or watching television
your mind is focussed on something else.

Aerobics can actually increase your mood, make you feel
more energized, helps you maintain your weight and even
keep your blood sugar low. With so many different benefits
it is hard to understand why people do not want to
participate in aerobics. With so many negative influences
in our society today when all it takes is a short duration
of an aerobic exercise to improve your fitness levels,
maintan your weight and more, why not?

Check out your gym or even the workout DVDs you can buy for
home and find one you think you will enjoy doing on a
regular basis of up to 4 times per week but no less than 3
times a week. Once you have a routine down you will find it
much easier to stick with and even enjoy.
