Aerobic Exercise for Optimal Aerobic and Cardiovascular Health
Aerobic exercise
, as you may know is not only beneficial to you regarding your
aerobic health
but also for your over all
cardiovascular health
as well. Having a Masters Degree in Health Education from Penn State University, I am keenly aware of the benefits of aerobic training, and
aerobic exercise
, having spent my early professional career, developing, implementing and assessing health education and wellness programs that emphasised aerobic exercise.
As an active runner since 1978-running 10 miles 3-5 times a week and having entered and completed 3 marathons in the top 30%, I can comment positively on the benefits of cardio fitness and cardio vascular health exercise in general...so I do have just a tad bit of experience in the area of cardiovascualar health and cardiovascular exercise.

Do you have specific
fitness goals
,
weight loss
, or
nutritional
goals that you would like to see happen. Do you have specific cardiovascular exercises, or aerobic conditioning that you would like to begin? Remember, with any cardio fitness or cardiovascular program that you decide to embark upon-you need to make sure that you check first with your medical doctor to make sure you are in tip top shape form to begin such aerobic exercise or aerobic training program.
Which Cardiovascular Health and Cardiovascular Exercise Program is Right For You?
Cardiovascular Health and Cardiovascular training can really be broken down into four primary aerobic exercise or aerobic training regimens:
walking,
jogging,
running,
and
home gym
exercise systems equipped to provide the user with cardio exercise, aerobic exercise, and aerobic conditioning programs.
Walking
Walking is probably the easiest of all cardiovascular exercise programs or aerobic training programs that you can do. After all everyone of use walks (unless those who have disabilities). The point is-walking is the most natural form of cardiovascular exercise that you can probably do. In human societies people walk almost everywhere every single day.
You may want to join a walking club, or you can begin walking with a friend or your spouse. Start slowly at first if you have been inactive, and then gradually increase your distance maybe up to 30 minutes to a an hour. The point is to begin now and develop a routine.
If you’re going to be walking for aerobic conditioning or cardiovascular exercise, you will need to invest in a decent pair of
New Balance Walking shoes
which there are many excellent walking shoes to choose from.
I can personally recommend from my experience that you use New Balance. New Balance in particular-I have been using for over 20 years now in my running and also have owned several pair of walking shoes as well. Their quality of shoe for both walking and running are second to none. You can purchse directly from Amazon.com here:

Running
Running is another form of excellent cardio fitness that I can heartedly recommend from my own 31 years personal experience running 3-5 times a week, for approximately 10 miles total duration that I currently do. I highly recommend New Balance men and women running shoes
which I have been using for over 20 years.
Whether you’re deciding to take up running or walking for your own personal
weight loss
goals or for your personal
fitness goals
,is not so much important as beginning now to start somewhere on your cardio exercise program.
Always remember-its not the distance in miles or kilometers that you walk or run daily or weekly, bu how often you repeat the exercise that counts-walking and running.
There are many excellent running sources including
marathon training for beginners
,if you’re a seasoned runner and you want more of a challenge in your running regimen, or if you're
beginning jogging and running
and running as a novice or beginner, who is just learning the basics of proper training for jogging and running.
Home Gym Systems
The third component for aerobic conditioning or aerobic exercise equipment are the
eliptical
cardio exercise systems. These exercise machines are free-standing platform exercise machines such as the types of machines that emphasize cardio exercises but are very low impact, compared to walking or running .
