Benefits of Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise is known to be cardiovascular activity, which is

why we frequently hear "cardio" used in the "aerobic"

environment. The trick to making aerobic movement is that you

need to be able to sustain your operation for more than two

minutes with adequate oxygen intake. You can mark things like

running, swimming, cycling, and even speed walking as aerobic

exercise. Although most aerobic exercise is in the low-to

moderate-intensity range, there are various rates of exercise.

Below are few advantages of aerobic exercise.

1. Improves cardio

Aerobic exercise strengthens your heart and vascular health helps it more efficiently pump blood throughout the body. Aerobic exercise can also help lower blood pressure, and keep your

arteries clear by raising good high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and lowering bad low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in the blood. This is good for people with or at risk for heart disease.

2. Helps regulate blood sugar and lower blood pressure

Regular physical and aerobic activity helps regulate insulin levels and lower blood sugar, all while keeping body weight in check. Moreover, the exercise may help you manage symptoms

of high blood pressure. That because exercise can help lower blood pressure.

3. Reduces asthma symptoms and chronic pain

Aerobic exercise can help people with asthma lessen both the frequency and severity of asthma attacks. Aerobic exercises such as swimming or aqua aerobics may help you get back muscle function and endurance and also help you lose weight, which may further reduce chronic back pain.

4. Reduce your health risks and strengthen the heart

Aerobic exercise reduces the risk of many conditions including obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, stroke and certain types of cancer. Weight-bearing aerobic exercises, such as walking, help decrease the risk of osteoporosis. A stronger heart also pumps blood more efficiently, which improves blood flow to all parts of your body.
