Benefits of Aerobic training

*BENEFITS & ADVANTAGES OF AEROBIC TRAINING*

The human body is designed to be active. By simply being active, the muscles, ligaments, tendons, limbs, and organs of the body are massaged.

In addition, physical activity also forces oxygen into the soft tissue, promotes the removal of waste byproducts, and improves their flexibility. Regularly performing some form of physical activity forces the body to circulate the blood, oxygen, nutrients, cellular respiration and nervous system, to name a few items. Sweating is also healthy for the human body in that it forces toxins to be flushed from the body..

This being said, one form of physical activity is aerobic exercise. Aerobic, meaning "with oxygen", is a form of exercise that focuses on elevating the heart rate.

*Some of these benefits include:*

1. Increases cardiorespiratory and cardiovascular system outputs
2. Strengthens the heart and entire cardiovascular system
3. Decreases resting heart rateImproves circulation by removing cholesterol and plaque buildup from the arteries
4. Body adapts to burn fat as it's primary fuel source
5. Promotes safe and effective weight loss
6. Reduces stress levels and calms and centers the mind
7. Increases the basal metabolic rate, resulting in a greater number of calories being burned per day
8. Lowers blood pressureIncreases good cholesterol levels (HDL) while reducing bad cholesterol levels (LDL)
9. Improves muscle toneI, improves coordination, balance, and posture
10. Increases oxygen levels in the blood
11. Increases flexibility
12. Increases the volume of blood per stroke from the heart
13. Increases the efficiency in which oxygen is utilized
14. Increases cardiovascular endurance
15. Decreases the probability of contracting diseases such as heart, stroke, some forms of cancer, and type 2 diabetes
16. Improves muscular tone while reducing body fat
17. Increases the probability of maintaining healthy weight level as you age

The above benefits associated with regularly performing an aerobic activity comprise only a subset of the overall physical and mental benefits related to an aerobic exercise routine. However, the benefits are numerous and will promote a lifestyle that is filled with good health and fitness, mental well-being, and longevity.
