According to search engine trends, many people are interested in learning about non-aerobic exercise. While non-aerobic exercise isn’t really a specific type of fitness. It is simply all types of exercise that aren’t considered aerobic. A closer look at what aerobic means is necessary to truly understand what people mean by non-aerobic exercise.

When we think of “aerobics” we commonly think of women in spandex doing dance moves to Top 40 music. This form of fitness is a good example of “aerobic exercise” but isn’t the only one. As a matter of fact, many fitness programs are centered on aerobic exercise. Simply put, aerobic exercise is exercise that increases your cardiovascular health. It is a synonym for “cardio” exercise.

As a cardiovascular activity, aerobic exercises include everything from running to many fitness DVD’s as well as some organized sports and martial arts. Non-aerobic exercise then is exercise that doesn’t increase your breathing and heart rate much. Very low impact and low intensity work qualifies as non-aerobic exercise.

Stretching is a great form of non-aerobic exercise. Things like Yoga and Pilates involve stretching but are both very intense and likely to dramatically work your heart and lungs. For this reason, the more strenuous versions of these types of workouts would not be considered non-aerobic exercises.

Light strength training can also be a good non-aerobic workout. Being careful to lift only light weights and use controlled measured movements will guarantee that your heart and lungs aren’t worked too hard.

Non-aerobic exercise may appeal to people recently out of surgery or of limited capabilities. Light exercise is great for people who may not have the capabilities that normal healthy adults do. Monitoring your breathing and heart rate are good ways to ensure the activity you choose is definitely a non-aerobic

Regardless of age, weight or athletic ability, aerobic activity is good for you. As your body adapts to regular aerobic exercise, you’ll get stronger and more efficient. Consider 10 ways that aerobic activity can help you feel better and enjoy life to the fullest.

Aerobic activity can help you:

1. Keep excess pounds at bay. Combined with a healthy diet, aerobic exercise helps you lose weight — and keep it off.
2. Increase your stamina. Aerobic exercise may make you tired in the short term. But over the long term, you’ll enjoy increased stamina and reduced fatigue.
3. Ward off viral illnesses. Aerobic exercise activates your immune system. This leaves you less susceptible to minor viral illnesses, such as colds and flu.
4. Reduce health risks. Aerobic exercise reduces the risk of many conditions, including obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke and certain types of cancer. Weight-bearing aerobic exercises, such as walking, reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
5. Manage chronic conditions. Aerobic exercise helps lower high blood pressure and control blood sugar. If you’ve had a heart attack, aerobic exercise helps prevent subsequent attacks.
6. Strengthen your heart. A stronger heart doesn’t need to beat as fast. A stronger heart also pumps blood more efficiently, which improves blood flow to all parts of your body.
7. Keep your arteries clear. Aerobic exercise boosts your high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good,” cholesterol and lowers your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad,” cholesterol. The potential result? Less buildup of plaques in your arteries.
8. Boost your mood. Aerobic exercise can ease the gloominess of depression, reduce the tension associated with anxiety and promote relaxation.
9. Stay active and independent as you get older. Aerobic exercise keeps your muscles strong, which can help you maintain mobility as you get older. Aerobic exercise also keeps your mind sharp. At least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three days a week seems to reduce cognitive decline in older adults.
10. Live longer. People who participate in regular aerobic exercise appear to live longer than those who don’t exercise regularly.
