The term ‘aerobic’ means to exercise with air. Getting enough oxygen into our bloodstream on a regular basis is very important for many health reasons. The most obvious is to combat fatigue as when the cells receive enough oxygen then the energy levels in your body should improve.

Many people simply do not take part in enough aerobic exercise and the reason for this varies depending on the individual. For most people it is lack of time that seems to be the number one reason that they do not exercise regularly. A great way to get aerobic exercise is by buying a treadmill or stair climber for your home. This way you can exercise when it is most convenient for you. If you experience pain using regular exercise machines like a treadmill then you may want to consider something like a recumbent exercise bike. These are comfortable to use and offer great back support as well as variable resistance so you will not outgrow it.

It is important to also evaluate how much aerobic exercise you get from your job. Many people work pretty physical jobs that require them to be standing and moving a lot. This is great since you probably do not need to do any more aerobic exercise as your job gives you the aerobic benefit you seek. Most people fail to stick with a consistent exercise program. The reason for this can be complicated however one way to help you stay focused is to set goals. If you are looking to lose weight then set a goal 2 weeks from now as to what weight you want to be at. Be reasonable and aim for a 2 to 5 pound weight loss. Write your goal on a piece of paper and remind yourself daily about it. link..
