What is a Group Fitness Excercise - aerobics

Aerobics is a form of physical exercise that combines rhythmic aerobic exercise with stretching
and strength training routines with the goal of improving all elements of fitness (flexibility,
muscular strength, and cardio-vascular fitness). It is usually performed to music and may be
practiced in a group setting led by an instructor, although it can be done solo and without
musical accompaniment. With the goal of preventing illness and promoting physical fitness,
practitioners perform various routines comprising a number of different dance-like exercises. Formal aerobics classes are divided into different levels of intensity and complexity. Aerobics classes may allow participants to select their level of participation according to their fitness level. Many gyms offer a wide variety of aerobic classes for participants to take. Each class is designed for a certain level of experience and taught by a certified instructor with a specialty area related to their particular class.
