Happy Birthday, Fitness!

We finished one year of aerobics classes yesterday.

Here are some benefits of aerobics that I discovered while googling:

1. The heart increases its blood stroke volume

2. Oxygen is used more efficiently resulting in increased fat burning during exercise

3. More available energy due to greater amounts of ATP and PC for immediate power needs

4. Increased endurance

5. Lower blood pressure

6. Reduced risks in developing diabetes and other diseases

7. Increase in good cholesterol, decrease in bad cholesterol

8. Faster recovery after exercise

9. More efficient cardiovascular system

10. A positive body composition change, more muscle less fat

11. Better chance of maintaining healthy weight later in life

12. Helps in coping with all emotional and psychological stress

13. Enhanced good moods and self-esteem

14. Decreased shortness of breath

15. Decreased fatigue

And there are visible ‘positive’ changes in the regulars of the batch (including your truly) to speak for the benefits they have gotten out of the programme.

The 3 day sessions weekly are something to really look forward to especially since our instructor, Mukund, is a bundle of energy and positivity, that he transmits to the entire batch.

Here’s looking forward to celebrating the second birthday of my fitness programme next November end, with a year full of high-energy aerobics lessons with Mukund, in between!
