Aerobics
Trains cardio. No equipment needed. None of our programs use it yet, but you can add it to any session you build.
Free to use. The app logs the distance and the time, and remembers every session.
In the programs
None of our programs use Aerobics
It is in the app, so you can add it to any session and log it like anything else. It is just not written into one of our 50 free programs. If you want a cardio exercise that is, there are 6 on the Cardio page.
Technique
How to do Aerobics
- Choose a clear space and begin with a few minutes of light movement, such as marching in place, to warm up your body.
- Perform a sequence of rhythmic, full-body movements such as step touches, knee lifts, grapevines, and arm swings, moving continuously to a steady beat.
- Maintain a pace that raises your heart rate while still allowing you to hold a conversation.
- Continue for the desired duration, then finish with a few minutes of slower movement to cool down.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Land softly on your feet with your knees slightly bent to reduce impact on your joints.
- Breathe rhythmically and steadily throughout the session.
- Keep your core engaged and posture upright to protect your lower back.
- Adjust the intensity by changing the size and speed of your movements to match your fitness level.

The app's swap picker ranks these the same way: same muscles, similar movement, similar equipment.
Let the app run Aerobics for you
Durata logs the distance and the time, and keeps last session's figures in front of you, so you always know what you are chasing. That works on any of our 50 free programs, or on a session you put together yourself.
