exercise are achieved by increasing
your heart rate and breathing
hard for an extended period
of time. During this aerobic
activity your body produces
more energy and delivers more
oxygen to your muscles. Your
heart beats faster and increases
the blood flow to your muscles
and then back to your lungs.

and your body's aerobic system
is your heart, lungs, blood
vessels and muscles. The benefit
of aerobic exercise is based
on how well your body can
deliver oxygen to your muscles
and use it for energy. Regular
aerobic workouts increase
your ability to take in and
transport that oxygen and
improves your aerobic capacity.

healthier life and enhance
your well being. You get a

pursuit of fitness.

an aerobic workout that you
enjoy and look forward to
doing on a consistent basis.
Aerobic activity is fun and

concentration. So listen to
