The Fitness Journal

Cardiovascular or aerobic training is exercise that uses the large muscles of the body for an extended period of time. Oxygen is an important part of the energy pathways for the muscles in this type of exercise. Activities that are aerobic in nature include walking, swimming, jogging, cycling and running. This is the type of training that comes to mind when most people think about fitness and weight loss, and it helps develop cardiovascular (heart-lung) health and fitness.

If you are not currently physically active, or are overweight, walking, cycling or swimming are generally considered the best cardiovascular training options. Walking is the easiest and cheapest option; all you need is a reasonable pair of walking shoes. Swimming is very useful if you have joint problems that could be aggravated by impact. Running or other more intensive or high impact exercise is not recommended for people just beginning an exercise program especially if they are overweight.

Aim for 30 minutes a day 5 days a week.
