The best aerobics training for you depends on your fitness goals, preferences and current level of fitness. For overall cardiovascular health and low-impact exercise, consider low-impact aerobics such as brisk walking, swimming, or low-impact leg classes.

These activities provide effective cardiovascular benefits by being gentle on the joints. For more intense exercise, high impact aerobics such as running, jumping jacks and high knees can improve cardiovascular endurance and burn more calories but these may not be suitable for major joint concerns .

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is another good option. HIIT involves short bouts of intense exercise followed by short intervals. It is highly effective for improving cardiovascular fitness and increasing calorie expenditure in a short period of time. For a fun and exciting workout, dance aerobics or aerobic dance classes like Zumba offer a rhythmic, energetic way to get your heart going.

These classes improve systemic and cardiovascular health by making exercise fun. Cycling or spinning provide great cardio workouts that can be adapted to fitness levels, and help build endurance and lower body strength.
