AEROBIC EXERCISE

Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. Aerobic exercise

improves the tness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic exercise tness is promoted

by any activity that uses your large muscle -arms, legs, or buttock, for example. Your heart beats quickly and you breathe

deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise routine.

WEIGHT TRAINING

Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store, weight training

is an essential part of the exercise routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and strengthen muscle. If you are

working above your target zone, you may want to do a less amount of reps. And as always consult your physician before

beginning any exercise program.
