You need to exercise 60 minutes a day
Fitness activities, games or play
Aerobics should make up most of the hour
Moderate to vigorous will empower
Chorus
Cardio, cardio, cardio march
Move, move, pump your heart
March, march, cardio march
Cardio, cardio, cardio march
Cardiovascular is often used
Means the same as aerobics so don’t be confused
Cardio for short—which refers to the heart
If you understand this—it makes you smart
Chorus
Your cardiovascular system delivers oxygen
To the muscles so work can be done
The most important thing for an aerobic activity
Is continuously moving—that’s the key.
When you do physical activity—
your heart rate
quickens
Breathing gets deeper–
using your cardiovascular system
Staying aerobic–means with oxygen
You’ll be able to tell–you can do it with a grin
Chorus
If you are aerobic—you can pass the talk test
Talk while moving without too much stress
If you’re exercising at a rate where you’re breathless
Then you’re pushing too hard—ease up I suggest
On a scale of 1 to 10—try for a 7 or 8
You’ll see that it is the most effective rate
You can also stay in your target heart rate zone
It is the best method today that is known
