Aerobic workouts are an effective way to control your weight, exercise your heart, strengthen your muscles and make you feel good. After such a workout, people have a sense of well being. Aerobic workouts are any exercise that helps your body use oxygen more efficiently. This is done by increasing your heart rate and breathing more heavily than usual for an extended period of time.
INSTRUCTIONS:
To be safe, students balance in a stipulated position (e.g., one hand and one foot on the floor or one foot on the floor, a number of body parts; or a number of body parts can be specified such as knee and one foot, head and other body parts)
TEACHING HINTS:
Select several “its.”
Rotate positions frequently.
Select a balance position in which one is safe.
Why do you need to know more about aerobics?
Aerobic activities are helpful for weight control. Research shows that regular physical activity, combined with healthy eating habits, is the most efficient and healthful way to control one’s weight.
Physical activity helps to control your weight by using excess calories that otherwise would be stored as fat. The number of calories you eat and use each day regulates your body weight. Everything you eat contains calories, and everything you do uses calories, including sleeping, breathing, and digesting food. Any physical activities in addition to what you normally do will use extra calories.
Additionally, medical research has shown that regular aerobic activity increases the body’s production of endorphins.
When is an activity an aerobic activity?
Aerobic exercise is any extended activity that makes you breathe hard while using the large muscle groups at a regular, even pace. Aerobic activities help make your heart stronger and more efficient. During the early part of exercise, your body uses stored carbohydrate and circulating fatty acids (the building blocks of fat molecules) for energy.
Aerobic refers to any exercise that helps you use oxygen more efficiently by reaching and maintaining your Target Heart Range – the safest range of heart beats per minute during exercise. Calculate your Target Heart Range by subtracting your age from 220 for women and 226 for men and multiplying your answer by 60% and by 80%. The lower number suggests a safe rate for beginners, while the higher number would be your goal as your fitness level improves.
