Fitness Aerobics Work Out Music

Interval Workout.

Researchers at the University of NSW and the Garvan Institute studied 45 overweight women over 15 weeks. This Australian study compared a 20-minute interval workout (done three times per week) against a 40-minute slow cardio workout (also done three times per week). The Women did the workout for 15 weeks, and only the interval group lost belly fat. The slow cardio group got practically no results at all. They found their specific brand of interval training prompts the body to click into a metabolic response that allows more fat to be burned both under the skin and within the muscles.

The Interval Training group lost three times more weight as other women who exercised at a continuous, regular pace for 40 minutes,” UNSW Associate Professor Steve Boutcher said. “Their success was due to higher amounts of chemical compounds called catecholamines that are produced in increasing amounts when linked to interval sprinting; the resulting chemical reaction drives greater weight loss.You can get your interval workout music here

Costas Karageorghis, PhD, a sports psychologist at Brunel University in London says music inspires movement like smell  it can penetrate areas of the brain that language alone doesn’t reach.” In fact, research has shown that synchronizing the speed of music with exercise gets people to train harder. In his latest study, Karageorghis compared participants’ heart rates with the number of beats in music and found that matching the tempo to workout intensity mattered most for those who exercised the most strenuously

The effect of music on training is confirmed in a recent article by Men’s Health called The Science of Workout Music. According to the article, a new study from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia confirmed that “listening to your favorite music will help you push harder in your workouts. Men who listened to music while going hard on an exercise bike for 10 minutes pedaled 11 percent farther than those who listened to silence or static for the same amount of time.No time to work out?

Today Fitness Areobics Workout Music takes a look at Billy Blanks Tae Bo workout if you love to keep fit this should interest you.

Tae Bo was developed around 1976, by accident when Billy Blanks was working out in his basement. He developed a workout for himself that used the classic techniques from boxing and martial arts, and then added some dance moves. Martial arts and boxing develop strength, speed, balance, coordination and awareness. The dance moves give the workout energy and rhythm that improves coordination and body awareness and provides a workout for the heart. Thus Tae Bo was born. Tae Bo was first offered in Boston in 1982. In 1989, the program was moved to California where Billy taught in his garage then moved to a small studio located in the Los Angeles area. The center was moved to its current location in 1998. The first Tae Bo workout video was released in 1998. You can get all your Tae bo workout here

In the mean time check out this playlist

Today we are taking a look at aerobic exercise the meaning, the bennifits and how it came about.

The term aerobic exercise method were developed by Kenneth H. Cooper, M.D., an exercise physiologist of the U.S. Air Force. Dr. Cooper, an avowed exercise enthusiast, was personally and professionally puzzled about why some people with excellent muscular strength were still prone to poor performance at tasks such as long-distance running, swimming, and bicycling. He began measuring systematic human performance using a bicycle ergometer, and began measuring sustained performance in terms of the ability to utilize oxygen.

His groundbreaking book, Aerobics, was published in 1968, and included scientific exercise programs using running, walking, swimming and bicycling. The book came at a fortuitous historical moment, when increasing weakness and inactivity in the general population was causing a perceived need for increased exercise. It became a best seller.

Cooper’s data provided the scientific baseline for almost all modern aerobics programs, most of which are based on oxygen-consumption equivalency.

Aerobic exercise refers to exercise that is of moderate intensity, undertaken for a long duration. Aerobic means “with oxygen”, and refers to the use of oxygen in a muscle’s energy-generating process. Many types of exercise are aerobic, and by definition are performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time.

An effective aerobic exercise should involve 5-10 minutes of warming up at an intensity of 50-60% of maximum heart rate, followed by at least 20 minutes of exercise at an intensity of 70-80% of maximum heart rate, ending with 5-10 minutes of cooling down at an intensity of 50-60% of maximum heart rate.

There are various types of aerobic exercise. In general, aerobic exercise is one performed at a low to moderate level of intensity over a long period of time. For example, running a long distance at a moderate pace is an aerobic exercise, but sprinting is not. Playing singles tennis, with near-continuous motion, is generally considered aerobic activity, while golf or doubles tennis, with their brief bursts of activity punctuated by more frequent breaks, may not be predominantly aerobic.

The bennefitts

Strengthening the muscles involved in respiration, to facilitate the flow of air in and out of the lungs Strengthening and enlarging the heart muscle, to improve its pumping efficiency and reduce the resting heart rate Toning muscles throughout the body, which can improve overall circulation and reduce blood pressure  Increasing the total number of red blood cells in the body, to facilitate transport of oxygen throughout the body

As a result, aerobic exercise can reduce the risk of death due to cardiovascular problems. In addition, high-impact aerobic activities (such as jogging or jumping rope) can stimulate bone growth, as well as reducing the risk of osteoporosis for both men and women.

In addition to the health benefits of aerobic exercise, there are numerous performance benefits:

Increased storage of energy molecules such as fats and carbohydrates within the muscles, allowing for increased endurance

Neovascularization of the muscle sarcomeres to increase blood flow through the muscles

Increasing speed at which aerobic metabolism is activated within muscles, allowing a greater portion of energy for intense exercise to be generated aerobically

Improving the ability of muscles to use fats during exercise, preserving intramuscular glycogen

Enhancing the speed at which muscles recover from high intensity exercise.

Here’ a great place to get some hard driving aerobic workout music

In my research for Fitness Aerobics Workout Music I came up on the word Zumba, So I went looking for meanings or let me use the big word definition maybe I should go lookup the meaning of of definition, no, lets stick to Zumba, so what is it? well I came up with a few impressive meaning of the word Zumba.

Zumba is a fitness program inspired by Latin dance. It was founded by Miami-based dancer and choreographer Alberto ‘Beto’ Perez, who teamed up with two local
entrepreneurs: Alberto Perlman and Alberto Aghion. Zumba combines Latin rhythms with cardiovascular exercise to create an aerobic routine that is fun and easy to follow. The name Zumba is derived from a Colombian word meaning to move fast and have fun. Zumba sells DVDs/videos through its website and via infomercials. More than 3 million DVDs have been sold in over 30 countries. Zumba currently has over 9,000 instructors worldwide. Hey I found some Zumba music just for you click right here.

Zumba is a fusion of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps to the tune of Latin and International music. The routine features aerobic/fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. Zumba utilizes the principles of fitness interval training and resistance training to maximize caloric output, fat burning and total body toning.Zumba combines high energy and motivating music with unique moves and combinations that allow the Zumba participants to dance away their worries. It is based on the principle that a workout should be “FUN AND EASY TO DO” allowing Zumba participants to stick to the Zumba Fitness program and achieve long-term health benefits. Zumba is a “feel-happy” workout that is great for both the body and the mind.

Zumba is a one hour fitness class based on the principle of interval training - althernating high intensity and lower intensity exercise which works for both beginners and advanced exercisers.  In Zumba, changes in intensity are driven by the different rhythms of the music and the steps - without the negative effects of high impact aerobics.  We start with a warm up, then move through 8-10 routines which vary in intensity and style - merengue, salsa, reggaeton, cumbia, quebradita, calypso, even a little bellydancing and hip hop!  Zumba blends traditional dance steps with basic fitness moves so everyne can participate - it’s very easy to follow.  We finish with standing abdominal work and then a cool down and stretch to bring the heart rate down and relax the muscles.

“It is so much fun, and people really love it,” said Jackie Christiansen, a certified personal trainer who teaches Zumba classes in Dillon.

Zumba is a Latin-based cardio class that combines the dance moves and music of many Hispanic genres. But Christainsen said that this isn’t just a dance class, as the workout can help participants burn up to 700 calories in one hour.and I love the next line.

“I had a personal training client wear a heart monitor to one of my classes,” Christiansen said. “She came in late but, in the 45 minutes that she was there, she burned almost 600 calories.” Are you a participant of Zumba? fitness aerobics workout music would love to to know what it is doing for you, I will be looking in my area to find a class, I’m in  Kitchener Waterloo Ontario Canada I would to hear from you, In the you go get your workout on.
