Aerobic fitness

Work hard to burn fat, using aerobics. Increasing your aerobic fitness will help make your heart stronger, increase your lungs ability to get oxygen and make your body create new blood vessels to transport oxygen throughout your body better. This will make it easier to do many tasks like running to first base, running to catch the bus, or just spending the day walking around the mail shopping.

Any physical activity that increases your heart rate is considered aerobic. Activities like jumping rope, walking, running, biking, swimming, dancing, kick boxing. I am going to try to aim for at least 45 minutes of aerobic exercise 4 days a week.

I think I read that they are now saying that the 30 to 60 minutes they recommend of aerobic exercise doesn’t have to be all at one time. If I recall correctly you can do four 15 minute routines and that is just as good as doing it all at once. I’ll see if I can find that information and write something on that!
