Aerobic exercise for cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment:
Seek approval by primary physician prior to starting an exercise program. Aerobic exercise generally consists of mild to moderate intensity activity with rhythmic contraction of major muscle groups over an extended period of time. Examples include fast walking, jogging, cycling, Zumba, cross country skiing, and swimming. For the physician or fitness professional, the following source is the most credible reference for initiation of exercise in patients: Walter R. Thompson, American College of Sports Medicine, Neil F. Gordon, Linda S. Pescatello. ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Feb 1, 2009. (26)
