There are many forms of aerobic exercise; an aerobics class at the gym, spinning (on a stationary bike), fast walking (on a treadmill or outdoors), steps, cross country skiing, swimming, jogging or hiking.

Experts recommend taking at least 10,000 steps a day to maintain a level of activity that is beneficial to your body. A small device called a pedometer can be used to help with the count. It is relatively cheap and can be purchased in sporting goods stores for about $10-15. No need to walk and count anymore.

If you don’t get to that amount of steps, slowly increase it by 2000 steps every day until you reach the desired amount.
The recommended intensity of your exercise should be so that you can talk while moving without being out of breath. If you can sing while you are doing it, you are not doing the exercises fast enough.

As with all other forms of exercise you should start with stretching and allow time for a cool down by continuing the same activity in a progressively slower pace.

You can do your aerobic exercises by parking your car further away and walking to your work, you can take the stairs instead of the elevator, or doing your errands by walking instead of driving.

You don’t have to do it all at once. Experts say you can break it down to a few shorter sessions, 10-15 minutes at a time, as long as you get your full 30-90 minutes a day. Group sports such as soccer, football, basketball and tennis are also considered a cardiovascular activity.

This should become a way of life, going back to the basics of a less modernize world.
