Melbourne Fl Aerobics

Aerobics is a form of exercise that comprises rhythmic aerobic exercise with stretching and strength training routines with the goal of improving all elements of fitness (flexibility, muscular strength, and cardio-vascular fitness). It is usually performed to music in a group setting led by an instructor, although it can be practiced solo and without musical accompaniment. With the goal of preventing physical illness, practitioners go through variable routines comprising a number of different dance-like exercises.
Formal aerobics 'classes' led by aerobics instructors are often divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced classes, with different routines and fitness goals for each, and many aerobics classes allow participants to select their level of participation according to their fitness level.
A primary reason for engaging in aerobics is weight loss. Although aerobics is typically practiced to music, it is not to be confused with jazzercise or other dance-based workouts.[citation needed]
The word Aerobics means "using oxygen". When you do an aerobic exercise, like Soccer, basketball, running, or Aerobics, you are breathing. The oxygen passes through your body, as opposed to using up the bodily storage like you do during Sprinting, or bench pressing. Eventually, the muscles are filled with lactic acid, which then takes rest to flush away.

The Benefits of Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise helps push the heart and circulatory system further than the easy pace of many every day activities. This stress forces the body to adapt causing many changes which benefit us in lots of ways. The health benefits we gain from aerobic exercise are important, not only does this type of exercise help control weight, it also limits the chances of developing many common illness and diseases.

1. The heart enlarges.

2. The heart increases its blood stroke volume.

3. Resting heart rate slows, less than 60 beats per minute indicates good physical fitness

4. Oxygen is used more efficiently resulting in increased fat burning during exercise

4. More available energy due to greater amounts of ATP and PC for immediate power needs

5. Increased endurance

6. Lower blood pressure

7. Reduced risks in developing diabetes and other diseases

8. Increase in good cholesterol, decrease in bad cholesterol

9. Faster recovery after exercise

10. More efficient cardiovascular system

11. A positive body composition change, more muscle less fat

12. Better chance of maintaining healthy weight later in life

13. Help in coping with all other emotional and psychological stress

The constant stress of aerobic exercise forces the heart to gradually enlarge so future exercise eventually requires less effort. A bigger heart allows us to sustain exercise for longer periods because more oxygenated blood can be carried to the working muscles. This also has the added benefit that a higher fat percentage can be used to provide the energy for exercise.

Most of the above aerobic benefits begin to kick in within four weeks of starting an exercise program, within three months of consistent training there should be a well-developed level of physical fitness with the more dramatic benefits taking place. The changes in the cell's energy system can start to speed up the reduction in total body fat levels. The training effects of exercise does however start to reduce after about 48 hour so its important to be consistent and make your chosen activity fun!
