9. • Aerobic exercise is sometimes known as "cardio" -- exercise that
requires pumping of oxygenated blood by the heart to deliver oxygen
to working muscles.
• Aerobics exercise stimulates the heart rate and breathing rate to
increase in a way that can be sustained for the exercise session. In
contrast, anaerobic ("without oxygen") exercise is activity that causes
you to be quickly out of breath, like sprinting or lifting a heavy weight.
• Aerobic exercise can become anaerobic exercise if performed at a
level of intensity that is too high.
• Aerobic exercise not only improves fitness; it also has known
benefits for both physical and emotional health.
• Aerobic exercise can help prevent or reduce the chance of
developing some cancers, diabetes, depression, cardiovascular
disease, and osteoporosis.

11. Birth of Aerobics
• The concept of aerobics stem from a book published in 1968,
written by Dr. Kenneth Cooper. In the book, Dr. Cooper explains
that aerobic exercise helps prevent disease, He explains that in
order to live a healthy life, you must exercise regularly.
• Cooper went on to create a research laboratory where he
studied his theory and found proof that aerobic exercise, such
as bike riding and running, helps reduce the risk of disease.

12. Dance Fitness
• Jacki Sorensen is credited with taking Dr. Cooper's knowledge
and synthesizing it into fun and effective aerobic workout
routines. Sorensen started by teaching dance classes and
slowly grew those classes into choreographed workout routines.
• From there, aerobics classes grew steadily with different fitness
personalities offering their own take. Judi Shepherd Missett
developed "JAZZERCISE" in the 1970s.

13. Workout Videos
• Jane Fonda's high impact aerobics videos were a hit in the
1980s. Whereas exercise had previously been limited to
classes, these workout videos made aerobics easily accessible
to anyone with a player. The videos were very popular because
they combined the entertaining and high energy instruction of a
group class with the convenience of an at home workout.

14. Aerobics Evolution
• In the 1980s, Gin Miller developed step aerobics as a low-
impact alternative to the dance fitness classes that were
growing in popularity. Her classes exploded in popularity
because she could accommodate people with lower levels of
fitness and those with injuries.
• From this point, group of fitness classes began to explode in
creativity and popularity, Health clubs and gyms began offering
group classes to members.
• Boxing, kickboxing, dance and bootcamp-style workouts are all
extremely popular.

15. Technology and Aerobics
• You can also stream group exercise classes right to your phone
or television at home to experience a live workout instead of a
pre-recorded video.
