Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Aerobic exercises are always recommended for an individual.

Aerobic exercises are beneficial in many ways They increase the metabolic rate (the rate at which the body burns calories), improve the circulatory system, improve musculoskeletal strength and endurance, help in maintaining weight by losing fat from the body, and improve muscle tone and flexibility.

Aerobic activities can be done daily or four to five days a week depending on the needs and goals of the client. Cycling, jogging, walking, etc can be included which require high repetitions and low resistance activities.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.
