Three Types of Aerobic Exercise



Aerobic Exercise, which is also known as Cardio Exercise, increases your heart rate and makes your lungs work harder than normal. This type of exercise promotes new blood vessels to be formed throughout your body. This results in an increase in nutrient flow to your tissues and organs, and helps the elimination of waste material from your cells. Since your bodily tissues and organs are getting more nutrients and exposed to less waste material, your health will improve and you increase your chances of improving your longevity.

Types of Aerobic Exercise

  1. No Impact - Examples of no impact aerobic exercise is cycling, elliptical trainers or swimming. Try this type of workout if you experience low back or knee pain, or if you are overweight and not in good physical condition.
  2. Low Impact - An example is a brisk walk. Try this exercise if you are in decent shape but have not exercised for a while.
  3. High Impact - Examples are running or jogging. Try this type if you are in good shape and competitive.
Personally, I like Interval Training especially the 4X4 Interval Training Routine. An example of this type of aerobic exercise is to run for 1 to 2 minutes to reach my target heart rate, then walk briskly for 3 minutes. I then repeat this cycle 4 times for a complete and fun workout to increase my health and fitness levels.

  3. We can do physical fitness in a natural way such as walking or running and eating more health foods such as vegetables and fruits. Through natural diet or regular exercise, we can avoid heart problems and other health illnesses.
