How many calories does Aerobics burn?
Moderate-to-high aerobics is a group exercise that burns plenty of energy with rhythmic moves to music.
In aerobics classes the music sets the tempo and it tends to stay steady through the class. Low-impact classes keep one foot on the floor at all times, while jumps in high-impact classes raise the intensity.
