One of the main components of a fitness program is aerobic or cardiovascular exercise. Aerobic and cardiovascular will be used interchangebly throughout the program.
Aerobic exercise means with air.
Your body needs more oxygen when you exercise which your lungs get through the air that you breathe. Think of oxygen as the gas that you put in your car. You do not need nearly as much gas when your car is sitting at a stoplight compared to driving a car in the Indianapolis 500. Aerboic exercise is important in weight maintenance because you burn calories through continuously exercising at a moderate pace. Aerobic exercise generally involves using your big muscles including your back, chest, legs, and butt.
