Aerobic exercise is a great way to achieve fitness. Many gyms and health clubs provide aerobic exercise equipment for their customers. Types of equipment include treadmills, elliptical machines and exercise bikes. While many people know that they should be exercising every day, they often don't realize the plentiful ways they can get an aerobic workout.

  4. Elliptical

  7. Exercise bikes are another popular type of aerobic exercise equipment. Some new models even allow users to ride on side-by-side bikes in simulated races.
  8. Warning

  9. Be sure to check with your doctor before beginning an aerobic exercise routine. If you get the green light from the doctor, then get out there and get your heart pumping!
