Aerobic fitness is synonymous with endurance or stamina. It describes the ability, partially inherited and partially trained, to engage in prolonged endeavors. Those who pursue fitness earn far more than enhanced health and performance. For many, the process becomes more important than the goal, providing discipline, challenge, and time for reflection. 5 0 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 Amount of exercise in kcal per week The more you exercise, the lower your chance of developing heart disease.
Genes carry the code for the production of proteins. When you do aerobic activity, you activate or “turn on” specific genes located in your muscle fibers (another term for muscle cells). This activation causes a messenger molecule to exit the nucleus of the muscle cell, bind to another chemical that creates protein, and tell that chemical which protein, or enzyme, to make. These enzymes, in turn, help your muscles use fat and carbohydrate. Without aerobic activity, none of this happens, so you can see that being active is very important.
Gently train by going a bit farther and a bit faster, and feel your level of energy increase. 44 More Fit and Faster How to Adjust Your Aerobic Fitness Training This chapter shows you how to coax important adaptations from your body. I will tell you how to train while enjoying the process. You can create a prescription for exercise by controlling the intensity, duration, and frequency of your training.
