FITNESS TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
AEROBIC EXERCISE
Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. Aerobic exercise
improves the fitness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic exercise fitness is promoted
by any activity that uses your large muscles -arms, legs, or buttock, for example. Your heart beats quickly and you breathe
deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise routine.
WEIGHT TRAINING
Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store, weight
training is an essential part of the exercise routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and strengthen muscle.
If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do less reps. And as always consult your
physician before beginning any exercise program.
