Exercise for Underweight BMI
Cardiovascular Exercise
Most people do aerobic exercise in order to lose weight. However, for those not interested in
losing weight, it is still important to exercise the cardiovascular system by doing aerobic types
of exercise. For those trying to gain weight, or at least not lose additional weight, try some of
the following, moderate, types of cardiovascular exercise:
- Walking or biking at a moderate to brisk pace
- Recreational swimming
- Playing golf
- Playing team sports that don't require a lot of running (such as volleyball or baseball on a large team)
While more demanding types of cardiovascular exercise may be more fun to you, remember
that the more intense the workout, the more calories you burn and the more your metabolism
rate increases, which is why intense cardiovascular exercise is so effective for weight loss.
