Aerobics

- Aerobics is a form of physical exercise that combines rhythmic aerobic exercise with stretching
and strength training routines with the goal of improving all elements of fitness (flexibility,
muscular strength, and cardio-vascular fitness). It is usually performed to music and may be
practiced in a group setting led by an instructor (fitness professional), although it can be done
solo and without musical accompaniment. With the goal of preventing illness and promoting
physical fitness, practitioners perform various routines comprising a number of different dance-
like exercises.

and taught in a safe and happy environment by qualified instructors. They are usually called

energy, and therefore calories, to be burned. Think of high impact as the most “bang for
the buck” when it comes to exercise.
2. You prefer to Go Easy on the Joints — If you’ve ever come away from the treadmill or
trail with sore joints, you may be putting too much stress on your body.
3. To Improve Alignment and Balance — Often, low impact workouts focus more on
strength, stretching, balance, and alignment than burning calories and building power.

immune system, stamina, and heart muscle, and can reduce overall health risk.
However, if we choose to execute it in low impact, then, this exercise would not be
much effective. Further, isn't we do aerobic dance to become physically fit, so in
order to achieve this aim of ours, we need to do it in right and proper way as it
should be. On the other side, low impact or low intense aerobic dance is
recommended for beginners, individuals with mild medical condition, and aged
and young individuals, As these individuals have physical and health limitations
that may hinder them to do a more intense aerobic dance.
