How should I exercise at the age of 40?
Aerobic exercise is characterized by low intensity, fast pace and long duration. It is required to exercise for at least 30 minutes at a time and insist on 3 to 5 times a week. This kind of exercise, oxygen can not only fully burn (that is, oxidize) the sugar in the body, but also consume the fat in the body, enhance and improve the cardiopulmonary function, prevent osteoporosis, and adjust the psychological and mental state, which is the main exercise mode of fitness.

Specific sports include jogging, swimming, cycling, walking, running in situ, aerobics and so on. Outdoor sports such as brisk walking, jogging, running, mountain climbing, boating and cycling, as well as various aerobic sports accompanied by music, or using some sports equipment, including rowing machines, treadmills or stationary bicycles, are all forms of aerobic sports.

Fitness is divided into aerobic fitness and anaerobic fitness. Aerobic exercise refers to rhythmic exercise, with a long exercise time (about 15 minutes or more) and moderate or above exercise intensity, that is, 75% to 85% of the maximum heart rate. Aerobic exercise is mainly divided into two categories: high-impact aerobic exercise and low-impact aerobic exercise.

1. High-impact aerobic exercise is a traditional exercise, such as long-distance running, swimming and table tennis.

2. Low-impact aerobic fitness refers to the exercise with slow rhythm frequency but long exercise time, such as skipping rope, rotating left and right, jogging and brisk walking. (Aerobics can also be divided into these two categories according to the degree of influence.)

Comparatively speaking, low-impact aerobic exercise is more popular, because it can reduce the chances of athletes being injured.
