then different forms of aerobics such as dance aerobics, step aerobics, water aerobics
came about.

Cooper (1986) published aerobic which discussed scientific exercise programs through
running , walking , swimming, and bicycling. The publication of this book was timely in
successfully educating the Americans the ill effect sedentary lifestyle brought about by
