Aerobics is a complex of various exercises that are aimed at general improvement and strengthening of the body. The exercises are usually rhythmic and performed with music.
Regular training helps to strengthen all the internal systems of the body. The cardiovascular system begins to work normally, posture straightens, body shape improves, muscles and ligaments are strengthened, mood and endurance of a person increase. It should be noted that complex elements and various jumps are not used in aerobics. These classes are designed for any person (regardless of age and level of physical fitness). Aerobics is great for people (more often women) over 35 years old, because it is at this age that a lack of calcium occurs in the body. This, in turn, leads to an increase in bone fragility. During exercise, the total blood volume increases, as a result, oxygen is better distributed throughout all internal organs. There is also an increase in lung volume. A high result of training is achieved by the intensity and high rate of exercise. Sometimes they are complicated by additional stress on the arms (for example, small dumbbells). Aerobics can be practiced in the gym under the supervision of an instructor or at home while watching a variety of videos, of which there are currently a large number. The average amount of time required for aerobics per week is 90 minutes (3 sessions for half an hour each week). Classes are contraindicated for those who suffer from hypertension, varicose veins, disorders in the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the cardiovascular system. Any physical activity should be carried out only after consulting a specialist.
