Aerobic exercise has been defined by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) as ‘any activity using large muscle groups and maintained continuously with rhythmic pattern’. Aerobic exercise causes the heart ad lungs to work harder. Whether it’s swimming, skiing, running or aerobic dance, aerobic fitness goes a long way in keeping your heart rate elevated and maintaining good health.

 Healthy living and physical fitness are closely connected. Being physically fit not only helps people live healthy lives, it also helps people live longer.
