Safe and effective aerobic training guidelines include frequency, intensity and time (FIT):
Frequency: Exercise at least three times a week.
Intensity: Exercise hard enough to reach your targe
t heart rate. (Take your pulse immediately when you stop exercising, count the beats for 15 seconds and multiply the number by four.)
Time: Include at least 20 minutes of aerobic exercise in each
session.
|
The aerobic exercise should be continuous in order to increase the heart rate and keep it elevated. Moreover, it is thought that 30-40 minutes of aerobic exercise has the added benefit of increasing t
he production of endorphins, which are pain fighting molecules produced by the body (the release of endorphins probably creates the well-known "runner¡¦s high" that occurs during exercise).

Aerobic Exercise Guidelines:
Mode:
Type of exercise - what is aerobic exercise?
Frequency:
3-5 days per week
Duration:
20 to 60 minutes of continuous aerobic activity
Intens
ity:
50 - 85% of maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 max), or
50-85% of Heart Rate Reserve, or
60-90% of Maximal Heart Rate
Low Intensity: 35-60% of Heart Rate Max or 50-60% of Heart Rate Re
serve
Moderate Intensity: 60-80% of Heart Rate Max or 60-70% of Heart Rate Reserve
High Intensity: 80-90% of Heart Rate Max or 70-85% of Heart Rate Reserve
|
How often should I train? How hard? For how long?
-Most experts believe that 3-5 times per week for a duration of 20-60 minutes at 60-90% of age specific maximal heart rate or 50-85% of VO2max (h
eart rate reserve).

Aerobic training exercise's are any activity which increases your heart rate via working of the body muscles. Aerobic exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, (cardio vascular) system. An aerobically
fit individual can work longer, more vigorously and achieve a quicker recovery.
