From what I understand with aerobics exercise it is a kind of dance exercise coupled with stretching and bending. Aerobics was very popular in the 1980s and I am surprised to find a topic about it in this forum. Maybe that means aerobics is still being done for exercise because it is beneficial especially to the younger generation who wanted not only to lose weight but to gain agility.

There is music that is usually dance music. Especially the elders they enjoy Zumba because it is just like dancing. They sweat a lot after 30 minutes.
