There are several types of aerobic exercise that are gentle on the back and, when done on a regular basis, highly effective in providing conditioning.
-Walking for exercise. In general, walking for

Aerobic Exercise Guidelines for Optimal Physical Health
-The Surgeon General has determined that lack of physical activity is detrimental to your health. Surgeon General recommends moderate activit

of activity corresponds to 200 kcals a day (Pate RR, Pratt M, Blair SN, et al 1995). See Calorie Expenditure Calculator.

How aerobics improve your health
Aerobic exercises use continuous, rhythmic activity of large muscles in the legs and buttocks to strengthen your heart and lungs (cardiovascular system). When you
exercise, the muscles demand more oxygen-rich blood and give off more carbon dioxide and other waste. This makes your heart beat faster to keep up.
When you follow a program of regular aerobic exe
rcise, over time your heart grows stronger and can meet the muscles' demands without as much effort. Both men and women can benefit from cardiovascular fitness. Check with your doctor first if you hav
e a chronic condition or are overweight, a smoker or middle aged or older and have never exercised.
