Super Aerobic Fitness
Aerobic activity is any fitness routine that requires jumping and running for a consistent period of time. The coolest way to get fit is an aerobics class. I took these classes myself and we used the stepper in the picture above. Along with music we stepped jumped and all sorts of dancing that made staying fit lots of fun.
Benefits of Aerobics
Improves cardiovascular health
Aerobic exercise is recommended by the American Heart Association and by most doctors to people with, or at risk for, heart disease. That’s because exercise strengthens your heart and helps it more efficiently pump blood throughout the body.
Cardiovascular exercise can also help lower blood pressure, and keep your arteries clear by raising “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and lowering “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
If you’re specifically looking to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, aim for 40 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise between 3 and 4 times each week.
Lowers blood pressure
Cardiovascular exercise may help you manage symptoms of high blood pressure.
Strengthens immune system
Researchers examined active and sedentary women and the impact of exercise on their immune systems.
- one group exercised on a treadmill for 30 minutes
- another group did a burst of intense activity over 30 seconds
- the last group did not exercise
All women had their blood taken before, after, and at different intervals in the days and weeks after these exercise sessions.
The results showed that regular and moderate aerobic exercise increases certain antibodies in the blood called immunoglobulins. That ultimately strengthens the immune system. The sedentary group of women saw no improvement in immune system function and their cortisol levels were much higher than those in the active groups.
