Endurance
Endurance, or aerobic, activities increase your breathing and heart rate. They keep your heart, lungs, and circulatory system healthy and improve your overall fitness. Building your endurance makes it easier to carry out many of your everyday activities. Walking or jogging, mowing, raking, digging and Dancing are kinds of this type.
Best endurance exercises
Walking
Walking is simple, free, and flexible. Plenty of walking options exist, including the track, the street, the forest, the mall, and the treadmill. You can vary the intensity of walking to match your fitness level. Walking is a good first choice when starting an exercise program. It is also a good choice for exercisers with joint problems.
Cycling
Cycling doesn’t have to be a tour de force at the Tour de France. People at all fitness levels can benefit from this endurance-building intervention. In fact, people who are 50 or more pounds overweight may find cycling on a stationary bike the ideal first exercise option because it can improve cardiovascular health sans the mechanical stress on the back, hips, knees, and ankles secondary to walking.
Running
Running (including jogging) is the most challenging type of endurance exercise. When going for a run, the main advantage of treadmills vs overground running is that treadmills permit various physiological measures to be recorded within a controlled space. For athletes, this allows greater control over performance variables such as running velocity and surface gradient, as well as environmental variables such as ambient temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity.
Swimming
For beginners, non-swimmers, or those of low-exercise tolerance, swimming may not be the best fit. Indeed, with a recommended 30- to 60-minute session, it may be downright dangerous for those who are unable to maintain the appropriate intensity. But for everybody else, swimming is aces. Of note, because swimming concentrates on small upper body musculature and is, by nature, more inefficient than cycling or walking, people with certain heart conditions may not be good candidates for this type of exercise
