Aerobics involves exercising to music and improves cardiovascular fitness, respiratory capacity, and muscular endurance. Some benefits of aerobic exercise include promoting strong bones, helping control stress, improving intellectual capacity, aiding weight loss, and providing protection from heart disease. A cardiovascular risk factor is a condition that increases the risk of heart disease, such as family history, age, gender, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, physical inactivity, obesity, and diabetes.

2. Aerobics is a system of exercises done
accompanying music.
Aerobic exercise improve
cardiovascular fitness, respiratory
capacity, and muscular endurance.

3. BENEFITS OF AEROBIC
EXERCISE
1. Aerobic exercise promotes strong and
heathy bones. As we grow older, our
bones trend to demineralize or lose
calcium.

4. 2. Aerobic exercise helps control physical
and emotional stress. It helps improve your
outlook in life and self-concept.
3. Aerobic exercise helps improve intellectual
capacity and increase productivity. In
general a fit individual can think,
understand, remember, and respond more

5. 4. Aerobic exercise is a realistic way to lose
weight and keep it off. It helps burn calories
and excess body fats and at the same time
helps maintain your desired body weight.
5. Aerobic exercise provides significant
protection from heart disease. Overweight
and obesity increase the amount of LDL (low
density lipoprotein) or bad cholesterol in the

6. CARDIOVASCULAR RISK
FACTOR
A cardiovascular risk factor is a
condition that is associated with an
increased risk of developing
cardiovascular disease.

7. 1. FAMILY HISTORY. If a first degree
blood relative has had coronary heart
disease or stroke before the age of 55
years (for male relative) or 65 years (for
a female relative), you might be at risk
of contracting the same disease.

8. 2. AGE. Through the years the heart
undergoes subtle physiologic changes
even in the absence of disease. The
muscle of the aged heart may relax less
completely between beats, and as a
result, the pumping chambers become
stiffer and may work less efficiently.

9. 3. GENDER. Men are at a greater risk of
heart disease than pre-menopausal
women. Once past the menopause, a
woman`s risk is similar to a man`s. The
risk of stroke, however, is the same for
both men and women.
