Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. It will improve the fitness of your lungs and heart: your body’s

most important muscle. Aerobic fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscle groups

-arms, legs or buttocks, for example. Your heart beats quickly and you

breath deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise routine.
