Aerobic Training

'' If you want to change the world, begin by changing yourself ! ''

( Confucius )

Since ancient times, physical exercises have played an important part in lives of people, contributing to maintaining a healthy condition and aiming at a perfect balance of all the functions of the human body.

Physical training not only targets the harmonious development of all parts of the body, the coordination of muscular functions and the ensuring of their economical output, or the optimal management of these functions, but lays special place to the aesthetic element.

When starting an exercise program, start slowly. Start with 10 or 15 minutes every other day and gradually increase the amount of time and numbers of days. Take care! Exercise can be stressful on your body, especially when you are first starting out. Give your body time to adjust!

And respects some rules:

1. The common training aims are: aesthetic, safety, physiological, biomechanical and psychological.
2. The main objective in aerobics is to progress without injury.
3. When you planning your training, it's very important to consider exercise intensity, duration and frequency.
4. At low intensity we suggest a duration for exercise of 40 minutes; at medium intensity a duration of 10-25 minutes and at high intensity a duration of 8-10 minutes.
5. Always remember: drink plenty of fluids, especially in hot weather, to replace fluids lost through sweating.
