Although any kind of physical moevement requires energy (calories), the type of exercise that uses the most energy is aerobic exercise. The term “aerobic” is derived from the Greek word meaning “with oxygen”. Jogging, brisk walking, swimming, biking, cross-country skiing and aerobic dancing are some popular forms of aerobic exercise.

Aerobic exercise use the body’s large muscle groups in continuous, rhythmic, sustained movement and require oxygen for the production of energy. When oxygen is combined with food (which can come from stored fat) energy is produced to power the body’s musculature. The longer you move aerobically, the more energy needed and more calories used where you might need to use pulse oximeter  to monitor the oxygen saturation of your blood. Regular aerobic exercise will improve your cardiorespiratory endurance, the ability of your heart, lungs, blood vessels and associated tissues to use oxygen to produce energy needed for activity. You’ll build a healthier body while getting rid of excess body fats.

In addition, to the aerobic exercise, supplement your program with muscle strengthening ansd stretching exercise. The stronger your muscles, the longer you will be able to keep going during aerobic activity, and the less chances of injury.
