Walking briskly, jogging, swimming, dancing, tae bo, kickboxing, aerobics, jumping rope, anything that makes you move, using your larger muscles in a continuous motion. Also the stairmaster, elliptical machine, stationary bike, or riding a bike uphill, these all get your heart rate up, when your big muscles work hard for 20 minutes or more, your body starts to burn fat for fuel, like a car, and in turn you lose weight, your heart gets stronger every time you do it, and so do your muscles. Hope this helps without getting too complicated!

Elliptical trainers are the best form of aerobic exercise. It burns more calories in the time allotted. It is low-impact - meaning it is easy on your joints and if you use arm movement elliptical trainers you work the upper body at the same time. Stair climbing is a great form of aerobic exercise but only recommended for fit people. Walking is the cheapest and easiest form of aerobic exercise.
You should exercise 20-30 minutes at 65-80% Heart Rate capacity. That would be calculated by subtracting your age from 220 then multiplying that number by .65 and .85
For example a 25 year old calculation would look like this: 220-25=195bpm 195 x.65= 126bpm 195 x.85 = 165bpm. Therefore, the 25 year old should keep their heart rate in between 126-165 beats per minute. Keep your heart rate in between these two numbers and you are effectively burning calories.
