Aerobic exercise is any activity -- walking, running, swimming -- that requires sustained movement of the large muscles of your body, such as the thighs, butt, back, and chest, for at least 10 minutes. These activities challenge your heart and lungs and keep them healthy. With regular participation, you will be able to sustain longer periods of activity without getting tired.
Any exercise that raises your heart rate is good exercise. If you are looking for something in specific then trying choosing from the list below:
- Walking
- Jogging
- Running
- Sprinting
- Biking
- Swimming
- Playing a sport
- Jumping Rope
- Jumping Jacks
- Step Aerobics
- Kickboxing
Again, much of this will depend on your goals but all will surely be great aerobic exercises!
