What does aerobic exercise do to your body
During aerobic exercise, you repeatedly engage large muscles in your arms, legs, and hips. You'll soon notice your body's reaction.
Your breathing will accelerate and deepen. This maximizes the amount of oxygen in your blood. Your heart beats faster, increasing blood flow to your muscles and back to your lungs.
Your small blood vessels (capillaries) enlarge to deliver more oxygen to your muscles and carry away waste products (such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid).
Your body will even release endorphins, which are natural painkillers that boost happiness.

Improve Heart function
A strong heart doesn't need to beat too fast. A strong heart also pumps blood more efficiently, improving blood flow to all parts of the body.

Keep the arteries open
Aerobic exercise can raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good" cholesterol, and lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol. This reduces the buildup of plaque in the arteries.

Aerobic exercise also keeps your mind sharp. Regular physical activity helps protect memory, reasoning, judgment and thinking skills (cognitive functions) in older adults. It also improves cognitive function in children and young adults. It may even help prevent the onset of dementia and improve cognitive performance in people with dementia.

Live longer

Take the first step
Ready to be more active? Good. But remember to slow down at first. If you have been inactive for a long time or have a chronic health condition, you should get your doctor's approval before starting exercise.
Once you're ready to start exercising, take it slow. You can walk five minutes in the morning and five minutes in the morning. Any physical activity is better than no activity.
The next day, add a few minutes to each walk. And pick up the pace. Soon, you'll be easily walking briskly for at least 30 minutes a day and reaping the benefits of regular aerobic exercise. The more you exercise, the more you benefit.
Other cardio exercises include cross-country skiing, aerobic dancing, swimming, stair climbing, biking, jogging, elliptical training or rowing.
