![AEROBIC EXERCISE is a type of cardiovascular training where there is continuous movement of large muscle groups to strengthen your heart🫀 and lungs 🫁. When you do aerobic exercise, your muscles demand more oxygen-rich blood which makes your heart beat faster!
The BENEFITS of aerobic exercise are endless: weight loss, lowers blood pressure, builds stronger bones, improves muscle strength, and also helps you avoid serious health problems such as heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers (1).
Some ways you can do AEROBIC activity are:
🚶♀️Brisk walking
🏃♀️Running
🚴Cycling
🏊♂️Swimming
⛷Cross-country skiing
Which is your favourite way to get your cardio in?
Lately I have been walking or running outside but, I do love biking as well! Here’s a throwback of me biking in Central Park in NYC🗽🍎.
