Great Health Benefits from Simple Aerobic Activity

What is Aerobics really, and what can it do for you? Aerobics and aerobic exercise refer to the process of physical conditioning which is designed to improve respiration and circulation. The word itself means 'with oxygen'. Any exercise, such as running, swimming, biking, jogging, or even doing exercise videos in your home achieve this.

What are the benefits of aerobics? First and foremost the improved circulation increases blood flow to your muscles. This causes them to consume more calories and also enables them to strengthen. Other benefits of improved circulation are myriad, but foremost is the fact that any healing your body can do must start with good blood flow.

Sustained aerobic exercise for 30 minutes can burn as many as 300 calories. A healthy adult on a reasonable diet should consume (consult your physician before embarking on any diet) roughly 2000 calories. This means that daily exercise can decrease your calorie intake by 2100 every week, or have the effect of removing all of the calorie intake for one day. Think about it, that's the weight loss benefit of skipping an entire day of eating once a week, without actually skipping the eating!

Additionally, regular exercise increases your BMR (base metabolic rate) and causes you to burn more calories even when at rest. Other benefits also include:

  • Improvement of your respiratory system by strengthening muscles
  • Tones muscles which improves blood circulation
  • Improves the flow of oxygen around your heart and lungs
  • Remove toxins from your body. Your lymph system has no pumps, it needs you to move to flush toxins out of your body
All of these benefits combine to keep you healthy and help your body heal itself. It's the best medicine there is!
