      A. gym exercise

      bike

      Features: Cycling can be done outdoors or indoors, but in recent years, it is more common to ride exercise bikes in fitness centers. Generally speaking, cycling mainly trains the muscles of the lower body, especially the lower back, muscles behind the knees and calves. Because exercise cycling is also one of the exercises that trains the cardiopulmonary aerobic capacity, if you pedal fast, it is also a full-body exercise.

      Suitable for objects : Anyone interested.

      Calories burned (per hour): 325.

      Exercise level: Moderate.

      Risk level: low (indoor); Medium (outdoor).

      Note: If you ride a bicycle outdoors, bend your body forward as much as possible to more directly train the aerobic function of your heart and lungs and reduce wind resistance. You need to pay careful attention to the road conditions.

      Nutritional supplement: Pay attention to water supplement, and also supplement vitamin B, E and zinc.

      Boxercise

      Features: Boxercise is a popular aerobic dance that combines boxing movements in recent years. It mainly trains upper body movements and has good effects on training speed, reaction, elasticity, aerobic function and endurance. This type of aerobic dance combined with boxing movements may be named by different fitness centers, such as Body Combat, Box Fit, etc., but the training principles and modes are basically the same.

      Suitable for those who are eager to lose weight, exercise Cardiopulmonary function, or those who are tired of general aerobic dance.

      Calories burned (per hour): 480.

      Exercise level: Moderate to high.

      Risk: low.

      Note: Warm up first.

      Nutritional supplement: Pay attention to water supplement.

      Equipment: Suitable sneakers.

      Aerobic dance

      Features: The biggest benefit of aerobic dance is to train cardiopulmonary function and enhance aerobic capacity. Since aerobic dance consists of different movements with different levels of difficulty, you can choose the level that suits you personally. For people who don’t like outdoor sports, aerobic dance is the best choice for training aerobic function.

      Even though some aerobic dances include muscle-tightening movements, aerobic dance is not mainly used to train muscles. If you notice changes in your body shape after jumping for a while, it's because you've lost fat rather than gained muscle.

      Suitable for objects : People who are eager to lose weight, exercise cardiopulmonary function, and coordinate their hands and feet.

      Calories burned (per hour): 354.

      Exercise level: Moderate to high.

      Risk: low to medium.

      Note: If you perform strenuous aerobic dance, be aware that the force of falling to the ground is about seven times your body weight, so pay attention to safety measures, especially the safety of your back and knees, and perform on a softly padded floor.

      Nutritional supplement: Because you sweat a lot, you should pay attention to hydration.

      Equipment: Sneakers.
