Aerobics

/eɪˈroʊbɪks/ noun

Definition

A type of vigorous exercise that increases your heart rate and uses oxygen to strengthen your cardiovascular system.

Etymology

From Greek 'aero-' (air) plus Latin 'bios' (life), literally 'life with air.' Coined in the 1960s by Dr. Kenneth Cooper to describe exercise that requires oxygen metabolism.

Kelly Says

The aerobics craze of the 1980s with leg warmers and headbands wasn't just fashion—it actually revolutionized how doctors thought about fitness, proving that regular cardiovascular exercise could prevent heart disease!
