THE
TEAM
AEROBIC
EXERCISE

Aerobic exercise is any type of cardiovascular conditioning. It can include activities like
brisk walking, swimming, running, or cycling. You probably know it as “cardio.” By
definition, aerobic exercise means “with oxygen.” Your breathing and heart rate will
increase during aerobic activities.
2 TYPES OF AEROBIC
EXERCISE

HIGH
IMPACT
LOW
IMPACT
Understand High-Impact
High-impact aerobic exercise means Running, jumping rope, skipping, jumping jacks and other types of
plyometrics are all considered high-impact exercise. These exercises tend to have a high-level of intensity,
which means you burn more calories. If you have a good base level of fitness and strong joints, high-impact
exercise could be the right choice for you.

To avoid stress fractures sometimes caused by the harsh impact of these workouts, vary your aerobic
routine to include some forms of low-impact aerobic exercise, giving your joints a chance to rest and
recover
Good examples of high-impact exercises are:
PERFORMING
PYLOMETRIC
JUMPING ROPE EXERCISE

RUNNING OR
JOGGING IN A
TREADMILL OR
JUMPING JACKS OUTDOORS
Know the Low-Impact
Difference
Strictly defined, low-impact cardio means at least one foot stays in contact with the ground at all
times, but some low-impact activities, like swimming and cycling, don't involve this movement. Hiking,
walking, rollerblading and most step aerobic routines are examples of low-impact sports, as well as
swimming. While the intensity of these workouts tends to be lower than high-impact cardio, low
impact aerobic exercise still works your body's muscles and increases your heart rate, without the
additional strain to your joints.

Choose low-impact cardio to start with if you are just beginning your fitness routine. Low-impact sports
can also be safer for the elderly or injured. Swimming is an excellent form of low-impact cardio
exercise
as the water provides a constant resistance to work against while cushioning and protecting your joints
against jolts and impacts.

Cycling is also considered a low-impact sport, though it only works the lower body and should be
coupled with another form of cardio if you want to target your upper body as well. For other types of
medium- to low-impact sports, try cross-country skiing, in-line skating, walking and dancing.
Popular low-impact aerobic exercises include:

STEP SWIMMING
EXERCISE MACHINE STATIONARY AND WATER
WALKING BICYCLING AEROBICS
Boost Your Health
Consistent aerobic exercise helps you
burn calories to lose fat, but it has even
more far-reaching health benefits,
including preventing heart disease,
improving your mood and helping your
body work more efficiently so that you
have more energy throughout the day.
Cardio exercise will release feel-good
chemicals called endorphins that can
help alleviate stress and make you feel
better. Your self-confidence can also be
positively impacted by different types of
aerobic exercise as you slim down and
tone your muscles for an improved self-
image.
Warm it
Up
● Consult your doctor before
attempting new types of aerobic
exercise to insure they are right for
your body type. A physician or
physical trainer can also help you
determine the appropriate intensity
level for your workout to meet your
fitness goals. Remember to warm
up and cool down on either side of
a cardio workout. Begin with a light
form of cardio, such as a brisk
walk or jog for about 20 minutes.
Once your muscles are warm,
stretch before beginning your high-
or low-impact workout.
