Aerobic exercises are those like running, jump rope, cycling, and long distance swimming, as well as a number of other exercises performed at gym. Some video games like Dance. Dance Revolution also require aerobic exertion. Aerobics activity is often accompanied by music. Women do aerobics together in a group following an instructor or alone in front of the television.
