What exactly are aerobic exercises?

Since many people know that aerobic exercise is good for weight loss, many people who want to lose weight will look for some aerobic exercise to do. So what exactly is aerobic exercise? Everyone intuitively thinks that aerobic exercise is exercising in an environment with sufficient oxygen. In fact, it is very simple to distinguish whether it is aerobic or not. The standard of measurement is heart rate. Let me show you how to understand it in detail below.

Aerobic exercise refers to physical exercise performed by the human body with adequate oxygen supply, usually outdoors. Aerobic exercise is rhythmic, lasts for a long time, and has a moderate or high intensity. Exercise with a heart rate maintained at 150 beats/minute is aerobic exercise, because at this time the blood can supply enough oxygen to the myocardium; if the heart rate reaches 150-160 beats/minute, the blood's oxygen supply to the myocardium is no longer sufficient, and it is semi-aerobic exercise; if the heart rate reaches more than 160 beats/minute, it is anaerobic exercise, that is, the oxygen in the blood is no longer in short supply for the myocardium.

There are actually many aerobic exercises. Girls can choose to take a walk after dinner. Jogging or cycling is also a good choice. Swimming is also a good choice. In addition to these sports, boys can also play basketball, football, etc. The elderly can choose Tai Chi, square dancing or rhythmic gymnastics. These are some good options. There are also some more targeted sports. For example, some white-collar workers who sit in the office for a long time and want to slim their waist can choose to do Taekwondo, but they must pay attention to safety and not hurt themselves. There is also tennis. Although only hands are used, the whole body is actually exercised.

The above is an introduction to aerobic exercise. What I introduced are the more common aerobic exercises. Now everyone has a new understanding of aerobic exercise. In fact, whether an exercise is aerobic or anaerobic depends on the individual's physical condition and training level. The most important thing is to do what you can and proceed step by step.
