There are many benefits of aerobic activity. Lets first define aerobic. Aerobic literally means "with oxygen", and refers to the use of oxygen in muscles' energy-generating process. Aerobic exercise includes any type of exercise, typically those performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time, that maintains an increased heart rate.
In such exercise, oxygen is used to "burn" fats and glucose in order to produce adenosine triphosphate, the basic energy carrier for all cells. Initially during aerobic exercise, glycogen is broken down to produce glucose, but in its absence, fat metabolism is initiated instead.
A few Benefits Of Aerobic Activity:
1.Strengthen your heart muscle(which is the most important muscle in your body).
2. Resting heart rate slows, less than 60 beats per minute indicates great physical fitness.
3. Oxygen is used more efficiently resulting in increased fat burning during exercise
4. Reduced risks in developing diabetes, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, & some cancers, (including breast, colon, prostate and endometrial cancer).
5. Faster recovery after exercise which will also provide faster results with your exercise goals.
6. A positive body composition change, more muscle less fat.
7. Better chance of maintaining healthy weight later in life.
8. Help in coping with all other emotional and psychological stress, also sleep better.
The benefits to aerobic activity are endless. You can see how beneficial they are for the quality of your life. Isn't that what we all want, quality of life?
