AEROBIC
EXERCISE &
WEIGHT
Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercise is any sustained
activity that sends oxygen to
your muscles via your heart and
lungs - your body's most impor-
tant muscle. Aerobic fitness is
promoted by any activity that
uses your large muscles - arms,
legs, or buttocks, for example .
Your heart beats quickly and you
breathe deeply. An aerobic exer-
cise 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, training is an essential
part of the exercise routine
process. Weight training helps
tone, build and strengthen mus-
cle. 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.
