These exercises speed up metabolism and improve both lung and heart function. The goal is to get the lungs to move more air in and out with each breath and the heart to pump more blood through the body. The strongest hearts pump the most oxygen-rich blood per beat, and this increased oxygen uptake is the ultimate measure of true physical fitness. Sad to say, many of our pre-teen and teenage children are very unfit. If your child learns to enjoy these activities, chances are she will continue to enjoy them as she grows up.
Aerobic exercises help to achieve and maintain cardiovascular health and true physical fitness.
