The Best Types of Aerobic Exercise For Weight Loss and Fitness

Have you noticed that what is commonly regarded as the truth on every subject, it is often outdated and often later proved totally wrong? I can only talk about my health, fitness and longevity for sure, but I suspect that is also true in other areas too. Cholesterol Myths, calcium, sunlight and aerobic exercise are all good examples.

Definition

Aerobic exercise is exercise using large muscle groups, legs, hips and arms, while the use of large amounts of oxygen. Running, walking, cycling, swimming, water exercise, and dancing are good examples.

Benefits of Aerobic Exercise

 No doubt that most any form of aerobic exercise offers some benefits such as better circulation, improved respiration, better muscle tone and a feeling of well-being. However most people are doing aerobic exercise for weight loss.

In the past aerobic exercise, it was hailed as the best way to burn fat, lose weight and protect the heart. However, recent studies have put this case.


If you want to burn fat / lose weight

Studies and real life experience of most of the top fitness instructors show that long periods of intensity aerobic exercise as a means of exploitation are not very effective for burning fat. Many people will admit that they have been running for hours and can not get rid of their excess body fat.

Short sessions of high intensity exercise such as weight lifting and aerobic interval training is much more effective and time efficient. It seems that this type of exercise keeps your metabolism high for longer, thus burning more calories.


The best types of aerobic exercises

Spinning on a stationary bike for 20-30 minutes with several sprints 30-60 seconds is best. It is convenient and easy on your joints. You can also do interval sprints while running, biking or swimming.


Race

The race is very popular, but many people would be better able to walk or swim. I see many people running with knees wrapped, struggling with bad posture. If you do not have joint problems and can easily work with have good posture, then running it well. However, do not run more than a few miles, especially if it is running on a hard surface, such as the street. I recommend running alone on grass, sand, dirt tracks in operation, if you want to keep your joints and prevent overuse injuries.

Improve heart function

Aerobic endurance training is believed to improve heart function. Think about it; the heart is already an incredible muscular endurance. Can you beat nonstop 50-80 times per minute to 100 years. If this super strength, I do not know what is.

 The heart does not need to be trained for endurance, unless you want to participate in endurance events. The heart needs to be trained to support periods of high stress intensity. The high intensity stress can come from situations that threaten the life or death of all types and extreme emotional time.

Short sessions of high-intensity aerobic exercise will prepare your heart to withstand the stress of maximum heart rate required to meet a challenge.



Conclusion

 You can be very successful in burning body fat and strengthen your heart, to do short periods of high-intensity aerobic exercise on a regular basis. And as always; I recommend hiring a qualified fitness instructor to begin a generally safe and effective fitness program.
