What kind of exercise is aerobic exercise?

With the improvement of living standards, many people are now paying attention to their physical health. Many people use various exercise methods to enhance their physical fitness and improve their body's resistance. For example, aerobic exercises such as running, swimming, cycling, and fitness dancing, but many people don’t know what aerobic exercise is. So today, I will introduce to you what aerobic exercise is.

Aerobic exercise, as the name suggests, is exercise done in an aerobic metabolic state for a long time (endurance exercise), which allows the heart (circulatory system) and lungs (respiratory system) to be fully and effectively stimulated, thereby improving heart and lung function. This allows all tissues and organs in the body to receive a good supply of oxygen and nutrients, maintaining optimal functional conditions. Therefore, aerobic exercise refers to long-term exercise (more than 15 minutes, preferably 30-60 minutes): jogging, swimming, cycling, walking, running in place, aerobics, etc.

And static training, weightlifting or fitness equipment, sprinting and other exercises are called anaerobic exercise. Although they can enhance a person's muscles and explosive power, their fitness effects are not as good as aerobic exercise because they cannot effectively stimulate the heart and lung functions.

Long-term aerobic exercise can increase the amount of hemoglobin in the body, improve the body's resistance, resist aging, enhance the working efficiency of the cerebral cortex and cardiopulmonary function, increase fat consumption, prevent arteriosclerosis, and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If people who want to lose weight arrange their food properly and combine it with aerobic exercise, they will not only lose weight successfully, but the weight they lose will also be consolidated. Aerobic exercise is also very beneficial for people who do mental work. In addition, aerobic exercise also has the effect of restoring physical energy.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone knows what aerobic exercise is. In fact, our daily running, swimming, etc. are all aerobic exercises. Moreover, aerobic exercise is very beneficial to all aspects of our body, so you can exercise more often in your daily life. But it should be done in moderation, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
