Although any kind of physical in Health Psychology movement requires energy (calories), the type of exercise that uses the most energy is aerobic exercise. The term "aerobic" is derived from the Greek word meaning "with oxygen." Jogging, brisk walking, swimming, biking, cross-country skiing and aerobic dancing are some popular forms of aerobic exercise.
Aerobic exercises use the body's large muscle groups in continuous, rhythmic, sustained movement and
require oxygen for the production of energy. When oxygen is combined with food (which can come from
stored fat) energy is produced to power the body's musculature. The longer you move aerobically, the more
energy needed and the more calories used. Regular aerobic exercise will improve your cardiorespiratory
endurance, the ability of your heart, lungs, blood vessels and associated tissues to use oxygen to produce
energy needed for activity. You'll build a healthier body while getting rid of excess body fat.
