What is AEROBIC FITNESS?

The term aerobic actually means "with oxygen," which means that the
amount of oxygen that can make it to the muscles to help them burn fuel and
move is controlled by breathing. Aerobic fitness is also known as

just a few minutes while your heart, lungs, and muscles are working overtime.
Pumping of oxygenated blood from the heart to deliver oxygen to working
muscles is a requirement for this type of fitness. Engaging to this activity will
help to stimulate the heart rate and breathing rate to increase which can be
sustained for the exercise session.
