Aerobic exercise is a type of exercise in which muscles draw on oxygen in the blood as well as fats and glucose, that increase cardiovascular endurance. Aerobic exercise is not to be confused with aerobics, which while they are a type of aerobic exercise are far from the only one.

Oxygen, fats, and glucose are used to produce adenosine triphosphate, the basic fuel for all cells. In order for an exercise to be aerobic, it must be maintained for enough time to burn off the cell's stored fuel, that is left there for periods of brief but intense activity characterized by the fight or flight response .

Aerobic exercises are those like running (but not sprinting), cycling and long distance swimming, as well as a number of more "modern" (although "trendy" is more accurate) exercises performed at gyms. Some video games like Dance Dance Revolution also require aerobic exertion.
