Aerobics exercise is just one element of a larger group called cardiovascular activity. Any exercise that increases your heart rate above its normal level is considered aerobic exercise and helps in burning calories. It worked your heart, your heart muscle, and provides oxygen to the other muscles to enable them to work longer. When you engage in aerobics exercise you will see that you can do more physical activity without being out of breath.

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.
