DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXERCISE AND FAT LOSS: AEROBICS
Aerobics, or exercise to music classes are popular, particularly amongst females, because of their social involvement, safety and the support of numbers. Some modem aerobics classes now cater for the body image concerns of big people by insisting on big T-shirts, floppy clothes and no body-hugging leotards (even on instructors). In line with the previous recommendations, aerobics classes should be of only moderate intensity. This gives rise to difficulties in gauging a standard intensity for all participants. Because each person has a different level of fitness, some may be working anaerobically, while others are working well within their means.
Duration and frequency of the activity are also important. The longer and more often classes are taken, the more benefit is likely. But this should not be seen as providing enough physical activity by itself. For many people, particularly the elderly, participating in an organised aerobics class can often result in a reduction in other forms of spontaneous physical activity which may have been done during the rest of the day. Total net increase in energy expenditure may actually be less than before aerobics classes were undertaken. It is important therefore for the fat loss leader to monitor all forms of physical activity, not just that which occurs in organised classes.
