Aerobic conditioning

Aerobic conditioning is like exercise for your heart and lungs. You know how you run around on the playground, or ride your bike really fast? When you do that, your heart beats faster and you start breathing heavier, right? That’s your body working harder to get oxygen to your muscles so you can keep going.

Aerobic conditioning is doing exercises that make your heart and lungs work harder like that, but for longer periods of time. So instead of just running around on the playground for a few minutes, you might go for a long bike ride or a run that lasts 30 minutes or more.

When you do this kind of exercise, your heart and lungs get stronger. It's like when you practice playing an instrument or drawing - the more you do it, the better you get. Your heart and lungs become more efficient at pumping blood and oxygen through your body, which gives you more energy and helps you feel better overall.

And the best part is that you don’t need to go to a gym or use fancy equipment to do aerobic conditioning. You can do things like riding your bike, running, jumping jacks, or dancing around your room – as long as you’re moving consistently and getting your heart and lungs working harder, you’re doing aerobic conditioning!
