Aerobic exercise

Exercise performed continuously using oxygen to produce most of the energy required by the working muscles.

Also known as: cardio, cardiovascular exercise

Exercise performed continuously using oxygen to produce most of the energy required by the working muscles.

Why Aerobic exercise matters

Aerobic work develops cardiovascular fitness and can improve work capacity, recovery and general health without needing every session to feel maximal.

A practical example

A brisk incline walk, steady cycle or comfortable jog maintained for 20 to 40 minutes.

Common mistake

Treating every aerobic session like a race and making recovery from strength training harder.

Keep the context in mind.

Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.

Personalised coaching

Apply the principle to your own training.

A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
