Aerobic exercise is an excellent way to maintain one’s health. I think most of us would agree to that. There are many different modes to aerobic exercise. Common examples include running, cycling, and swimming. Other activities such as simply walking do count as aerobic exercise as well! When you finished your exercise you often might have felt you took a step in the right direction for your own health. However have you ever thought about why and how it benefits your body? Over time your body begins to adapt to aerobic exercise and many changes come about.…
Most types of exercise are practiced in order to utilize the body's core functions and to better those bodily functions. Cardiovascular exercise is a popular type of exercise which is used to increase the heart's functions and the effectiveness of said functions. One main type of exercise is resistance exercise, which increases strength and mass, bone strength, and the body's metabolism. By practicing this cardiovascular exercise, you increase your heart's strength, making your heart more fit.…

Opposite to yoga, aerobic exercise involves many different movements of the body. These actions are typically fast, steady, rhythmic, and at a repetitive rate. This means that if a step class was occurring, the participants would be stepping fast and steady to music and would repeat various combinations of different steps to get the heart rate high ("What Is The Difference Between Yoga and Aerobics?").…

Stamina is both muscular and cardiovascular endurance. Muscular endurance is the muscle’s ability to continue contracting over a given time. It can be developed by progressive overload, which also increases the muscle’s strength, and this also helps the endurance of the muscle. During a ballet class, when working on technique, the repetitive movements will improve muscular endurance. Cardiovascular endurance is the ability to continue aerobic respiration and exercise over time. During exercise the heart rate increases from its resting rate to its maximum rate. After exercise it then returns to its resting rate. In a ballet class the heart is not usually at its maximum rate for long periods of time, for the exercises rarely exceed more than three or four minutes, and if doing a travelling sequence, a dancer would cross the floor once, or do an exercise once, then wait for others to do so before repeating on the other side. Therefore aerobic activity is not continued for long enough, so it recommended that a dancer should do some other aerobic activity outside of the class, such as running in order to increase their aerobic fitness and overall stamina.…

Each person has different goals when wanting to become physically fit, but not many people know the difference between aerobic and anaerobic training. Even though aerobic and anaerobic training both contribute in maintaining overall health and both produce energy through glycolysis, which is the conversion of glucose into pyruvate, the training are different to achieve different results and the metabolic processes used by these two types of training are different. It is very important to know how to distinguish the differences between aerobic and anaerobic exercises to achieve different goals. Both aerobic and anaerobic training are equally important as stated by Lauren Bateman, “However, you need both anaerobic and aerobic exercise to be truly healthy” (Bateman, 2006-2011). I will discuss the difference between aerobic and anaerobic training so that you can achieve your goals effectively and proficiently.…

Both strength training and cardiovascular exercise offer benefits. I have explained those benefits here:…
