Most certainly, aerobic activity (an activity that is sustained for a period of 12 to 15 minutes which increases the body temperature and breathing rate) is a workout which develops the heart muscle. It does not have to mean jogging or jumping rope. It could be a jaunt on a stationary bicycle while watching televiâ€" sion or a walk after dinner. Rather than treat the aerobic activity as work for the heart alone, however, we should consider it a workout for the brain as well.
