Aerobic
fitness allows your body to sustain strenuous exercise for an extended
period. Once you achieve your desired level of aerobic fitness, you must
take new steps to maintain your body. This requires more than simply
performing an exercise routine on a regular basis; you must make small
changes to your lifestyle and ensure you provide your body with
everything it needs to support muscular maintenance.

Instructions
- 1
Set fitness goals for yourself every month. According to the
American Council on Exercise, you should exercise for at least 2 1/2
hours total every week. Make this your weekly fitness goal for your
first month of active exercise. Every month following, add 15 minutes to
your goal until you reach 4 hours of weekly exercise.

Walk for 20 to 30 minutes each day. Walking is a light
aerobic exercise that you should include in your routine on top of your
weekly hours of exercise. Taking a brisk walk every day will help your
body maintain its aerobic fitness levels without extra strenuous
exercise.

Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day to
keep your body hydrated. In order to maintain its aerobic fitness
levels, you must ensure your body has enough hydration to support its
muscles. If you do not find plain water appealing, try adding a teaspoon
of lemon juice to each glass for flavor.

Lead an active life when you are not exercising. Though
aerobic exercise commonly conjures thoughts of fast-paced movement and
sweat, small changes will help maintain your fitness levels. Consider
taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking further back in
the lot to bring more activity to your life.

Take a daily multivitamin to support your body's nutritional
needs and supplement your body with the nutrients you do not receive
from your regular diet.
