The Featured Fitness Class this month is Aerobics

Aerobics classes are a specialised form of exercise aimed at strengthening the body's cardiovascular system without overly stressing any particular part of the body. It involves a lot of bodily movement (of course), but the movement is designed to be not overly repetitive. As such, it often involves a lot of specialised choreography, which is intimidating to beginners. Nonetheless, aerobics is an attractive form of exercise. Women like it because aerobics classes burn calories and don't lead to grotesque musculature. Men like it because aerobics classes contain lots of women.

Kinds of Aerobics Impact

Aerobic exercise can be either high or low impact.

·         Low-impact - This exercise keeps at least one foot on the ground (or something which at least touches the ground) at all times.

·         High-impact - This exercise involves having both feet off the ground sometimes. In other words, there's jumping or running of some sort is involved. It provides more cardiovascular benefit than low intensity, but it also stresses bones and joints more, which is a bad thing for many people. Stressed muscles recover quickly; stressed bones, joints and tendons recover slowly, if ever.

Typical aerobics classes allow students to choose either high or low impact. The teacher demonstrates low impact first. Students can then keep doing that or do the high-impact version which the teacher demonstrates next.
