Aerobic exercise is the heart of most of our fitness regimes. It is perhaps the
most important workout you'll do,
exercising the heart, lungs and
cardiovascular system. While many
people are actually getting aerobic
exercise while doing chores (such as
gardening, laundry, vacuuming or
washing the car) or having fun playing (skating, tennis, hang gliding or
sofa surfing), there are far more who are fooling themselves into thinking
these activities are actually aerobic.
The only way to know is to monitor your heart rate while doing the
activity and see whether you are
really reaching your target zone or
not. Also, the exercise must be
sustained for at least 20 minutes
of continuous elevated heart rate
to qualify for a good aerobic
workout.
Heart Rate Monitors are
excellent for monitoring your heart
rate while exercising, since
stopping the exercise to take your
pulse is inconvenient and
ineffective and your pulse will typically not be the same once you've
stopped.
