Relax, Have a Coffee & Let's Define Aerobic Fitness

I have seen many search requests recently for a definition of aerobic fitness. You have asked:

What is the difference between aerobic fitness and aerobics?What is the role of aerobics and / or aerobic fitness in my fitness program?Can an aerobic fitness physical exercise program help me to burn the fat and lose weight?How do I build my personal in-home physical exercise program using aerobic fitness and how much time do I need to invest?

As a certified trainer and educator of both aerobics and fitness instructors, I believe that any exercise program I recommend should be based on existing - and proven - knowledge, safety and technique.

So please follow the list to ensure that we understand each other:

Fitness can be defined as a holistic feeling or state of wellbeing.

Physical fitness consists of many different body capabilities. The four most important are:

EnduranceStrengthFlexibilityCoordination

Fitness incorporates physical and mental health as well as emotional satisfaction and self-awareness.

The World Health Organization - WHO defines health in it's Constitution as «a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.»

All in all:
When body, mind and soul are in touch and our souls "fit" happily into our bodies - that's fitness!

AEROBIC is one of the most important physical fitness factors. It stems from Latin and means:

AERO = Air = OxygenBIC = Bio = Life

Any physical activity which requires increased oxygen intake is an Aerobic exercise - by definition.

Aerobic activity or exercise is therefore the same as cardiovascular (cardio) exercise as it:

increases cardiac capacitystrengthens the heart, body and lungsuses creatin phosphates, carbohydrates and fat as it's energy source (fuel), depending on intensity.Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise - Do You Need Both?

Yes, you certainly do need both aerobic and anaerobic exercise.

You need aerobic exercise - for fat burning, and anaerobic exercise for strengthening the cardiovascular system.

So both are required and together they form a large part of physical fitness.

Whether it's going for a walk, cycling, swimming, dancing or any other activity that increases your heart-rate, so you feel slightly out of breath.

That's what makes aerobic fitness great fun!

Why not try an aerobic fitness workout right now?

To achieve optimum health in a relatively short time I recommend twice weekly:

20 min. Aerobic Activity with your favourite workout music:
Use your own body weight - no extra weights required!20 min. Muscle Strength Training and Stretching:
Use these exercises - dips, pull-ups, squats, push - ups, ab curls and light hand weights for muscle isolation exercises e.g. bicep curls.Anaerobic Exercise - Let's Pump Iron!
