Abstract:
Aerobic exercise is physical exercise of relatively low intensity that depends primarily on the aerobic energy-generating process. Aerobic literally means "living in air", and refers to the use of oxygen to adequately meet energy demands during exercise via aerobic metabolism. Generally, light-to-moderate intensity activities that are sufficiently supported by aerobic metabolism can be performed for extended periods of time. Aerobic literally means oxygen referring to the consumption of oxygen by the metabolic system. It involves a little warm up activity at the start and another minimum 20 minutes of exercise. Aerobic exercises are vital in weight loss activities. Aerobic exercise is the cardiovascular activity that involves prolonged activity of large muscles without stopping. Aerobic exercises burns one’s fat and keeps one’s metabolism rate high even after the activity is over. Just after 15 minutes of the exercise one’s glycogen burn’s off producing glucose, which then uses oxygen to generate energy by burning fat.
