Q. What is the most effective aerobic activity?
A. If you are asking “effective” as the one that burns the most calories, cross-country skiing and running score high. Both exercises use large muscle groups of the upper and lower body and are rhythmic in nature. The faster you run, walk, swim or cycle, the more calories you will burn per minute of exercise. Choose aerobic exercise that you enjoy.
Changing or rotating the type of aerobic activity will keep your body more responsive to exercise and will prevent boredom.
All things being equal, the most effective exercise is the one that you find challenging and that you enjoy; it is easy on your joints and muscles and can be shared with others.
