From the 80s gymnastics to the mega trend.

Aerobics / fitness is not only fun, but a great fitness workout that trains endurance, coordination and strength in equal measure. In addition, aerobics is suitable for the untrained as well as for ambitious athletes. This makes it a universal sport for all ages and fitness levels, depending on the intensity and equipment used.

Some information about the history of aerobic training

The dynamic training principle was developed in the 1960s by a US-American doctor to strengthen the cardiovascular system. The word "aerobics" is derived from the term "aerobic exercise". This means that training takes place in a performance range in which the body's oxygen intake is identical to the current oxygen demand. Due to this constellation, physical performance can be maintained for a very long time (endurance). After Jane Fonda succeeded in marketing the sweat-inducing gymnastics to rousing music, aerobics became known all over the world in the 80s. There was a real aerobics boom, at the height of which more and more doctors and scientists discussed the movements that were common at the time with regard to their sometimes questionable effects on bones and joints. The result was a positive development of aerobic training into several healthy sports programs.

What exactly is aerobics today?

Whether dance, step or Kix-Box aerobics, Zumba, body toning, aqua aerobics or classic abdominal-leg-buttocks training: modern aerobics is extremely versatile and can be very varied thanks to a wide variety of exercises, steps and music specially tailored to the respective program. Depending on the format, training is done without or with equipment such as a stepping board, dumbbells, gym bands or balls. As in its early days, aerobics today serves to strengthen the heart, lungs, circulation, muscles and coordination, although the different types place different emphasis on specific training goals. While the essential elements of dance aerobics and Zumba, for example, are choreographed step sequences with flowing arm movements, toning programs such as barbell training or abdominal-leg butt focus on strengthening specific muscle groups. But as different as the course formats are: All modern aerobic programs, when performed correctly, combine a low risk of injury as well as a great group dynamic due to motivating music.

What is needed for an aerobic workout?

The minimum equipment is non-slip sports shoes or socks, airy fitness clothing, a towel and a fitness mat. Depending on the program chosen, small equipment may also be needed. If you are training at home without an instructor, ideally you should get an exercise DVD and suitable fitness music. You are ready to go!

The 3 phases of an optimal aerobic workout

Whether in the gym, with friends and colleagues or alone at home: An effective, healthy training session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes and is divided into three phases. After the warm-up comes the main workout, followed by the cool-down:

1. the warm up: this phase serves to warm up the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Both the body and the mind prepare themselves for the subsequent stresses. For this purpose, depending on the duration of the course, simple aerobic exercises without equipment are performed for 10 to 15 minutes in combination with stretching and mobilisation.

2. the main part: Now the intensive load follows after guidance and choreography. Depending on the aerobic program, fitness mats and small equipment such as weight cuffs, weight vests, dumbbells and barbells, ropes, tubes, gym balls, balance pads and much more are used. The speed and beat is set by the music. 3.

3. the conclusion (cool down): With slow movements and purposeful stretching exercises for the stressed muscle groups the exercise unit ends. Allow about 10 minutes for the "cool down".

Can you lose weight with aerobics?

The answer is clearly yes! Regular aerobic sessions not only increase endurance and strength. If you eat sensibly at the same time, they also stimulate the burning of fat and the metabolism. However, the calorie consumption per training unit cannot be determined uniformly for each aerobic type and for each person. While a low-intensity aerobic variation consumes fewer calories, the relative calorie consumption of high-intensity variations is significantly higher. Thus, between 300 and 700 kcal are possible during an aerobic class. Since one kilogram of body fat consists of approximately 7000 kcal, everyone can calculate how many aerobic units are necessary to reach the desired weight.
