Kenneth H. Cooper was instrumental in developing Aerobic exercises. In 1968, his book 'Aerobics' was published which created a milestone. The popularity of Aerobics was seen mostly in 1980's, when beautiful women were seen jumping to the tunes of top twenty hits.

Nowadays, there are various forms of Aerobics that are popular in the whole wide world. Some of them are swimming, walking, running, cycling, rowing, playing tennis, hiking, biking, jumping and moving the body to the beats of music. You can adopt any of these forms of Aerobics.

Aerobic exercises improve oxygen supply in the human body, which helps in increasing the blood circulation and higher heart rate. This in turn aids the muscles to produce energy. Thus, Aerobic exercises are useful for both respiratory and circulatory systems of the body.
