Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise
14.07.08
Aerobic fitness means increasing how well the body uses oxygen, which in turn depends on the condition of the heart, lungs and muscles. Aerobic activity can be described in terms of the intensity of the activity: light, moderate and vigorous.
When people do moderate-intensity activities, they notice a faster heartbeat. Examples of moderate-intensity activities are: walk briskly; cycle briskly; shoot baskets; play golf without using a cart; sail or windsurf; ballroom dance; swim leisurely; mow the lawn but don’t use a riding mower; sweep floors, vacuum or mop.
The goal of aerobic exercise is to increase the amount of oxygen that goes to the heart and muscles which allows them to work longer. Any activities, including many kinds of daily activities, that raise the heart rate and keep it up for an extended period of time can improve aerobic fitness. If the activities are done regularly and long enough, they can help improve fitness. Make a commitment to yourself to improve your aerobic fitness and formalise an exercise program with the help of Pilates & Yoga exercise tools or supportive walking or jogging tools.
