Walking
• Better cardiovascular fitness
• Stronger leg muscles
• Lower blood pressure
• Lower risk of heart disease,
diabetes, bowel cancer and
osteoporosis.
• It’s also a safe, low-impact exercise
that most people can do — and it’s
especially good if you’re
overweight, unused to physical
activity or pregnant.
Running
It is beneficial in helping to improve heart and
bone health. Its advantage over walking is that it
improves heart fitness and burns kilojoules at a
greater rate. It takes roughly an hour for a walker
to burn the same number of kilojoules that a
runner burns in 30 minutes.

Jogging is running at a slower pace which is still


a great aerobic exercise.
Swimming
It’s a low-cost workout for the
whole body especially the muscles
of the back, shoulder and arms
and improves flexibility as well.
It’s a good way to exercise if
you’re overweight, pregnant or
have joint problems as the water
helps support your weight and can
reduce the pressure on your joints.
The risk of injury to muscles,
ligaments or joints is also low.
Rowing
Rowing is a low-impact alternative to
running or cycling that can improve heart
fitness and strengthen the muscles of the
upper body, back and abdomen. You can
enjoy rowing outdoors by joining a
rowing club or hiring a rowboat, or
indoors using a rowing machine at the
gym or at home.
Cycling
Cycling does double duty as an
aerobic workout as well as being a
low-cost, eco-friendly form of
transport. It’s good exercise for
improving leg strength and toning
leg and buttock muscles — but with
less stress on joints compared to
running or walking. If you’d rather
not ride outdoors, exercise bikes at
home or in a gym are a good
alternative.
Boxing
This is a good aerobic workout that
also boosts upper body strength — and
helps you let off steam. Boxing classes
are widely available in many gyms.
Some classes involve sparring with a
partner — you take it in turns to hold a
pad or pads while the other person
punches them while wearing boxing
mitts. Others involve no mitts or pads,
just air punching and other moves that
simulate boxing.
Team sports
Fast-paced sports such as soccer,
netball or basketball provide an
aerobic workout, improve muscle
and bone strength — and
provide a social activity as well.
Aerobic or ‘cardio’
classes
Available in most gyms and
community centres, these classes
keep you moving to music using a
variety of different exercises that
raise your heart rate.
Dancing
Faster styles of dancing such as jazz, hip hop, African and Latin American can
provide an aerobic workout and improve flexibility and bone strength as well
as being a lot of fun. It’s also an indoor activity you can do in all weather
conditions. Dancing classes are available in many community centres, gyms and
dance schools.
