Aerobic exercise is a physical workout which utilizes oxygen. Oxygen is transmitted regularly to the working muscles during the maintenance of a target heart rate for a minimum of twenty minutes. Fitness is an individual matter. It implies the ability of each person to live most effectively within his or her potentialities.
Regular exercise has many beneficial effects.
Every person should be aware of these so that intelligent decisions about activity can be made throughout life. It is important that individually you monitor the intensity of your workout and determine some realistic goals for yourself in accordance with your fitness level at the beginning of this course. For you to maximize the opportunity to develop your personal fitness during this semester, I recommend that you try to exercise at least one more time during the week on a day when this class does not meet. I will explain WHY in class. Remember also that fitness is mostly about how you FEEL and WHAT YOU CAN DO, not how you look.
