I-aerobics yokunyathela, oko kukuthi, ukudanisa phezulu nasezantsi ngesingqisho ngomculo onamandla (malunga ne-120 beats ngomzuzu) kwi-pedal ukwenza iintshukumo kunye namanyathelo e-aerobics. Inazo zonke iimpawu ze-aerobics, kwaye kwangaxeshanye, kuba uninzi lweentshukumo zenziwa kwi-pedals, inokuphucula ukusebenza kwe-cardiopulmonary kunye nokulungelelaniswa. Ngenxa yokuba ijolise kakhulu kwimilenze esezantsi kunye neempundu, inokuthi isebenzise amandla ngokucacileyo kwaye inciphise amafutha (udidi olunye lungadla i-1000-1500 kcal yamandla obushushu), luphakamisa iimpundu kunye nemilenze emihle, kwaye luphucula imigca yemisipha yabasetyhini.

I-Step Aerobics, yaqala eMelika ngo-1968, yaza yasasazeka ngokukhawuleza kwihlabathi liphela. Ukusebenza nge-pedal luhlobo lwe-aerobics, kwaye luye lwaba ngumthambo othandwayo wokomelela komzimba kunye nokunciphisa umzimba kwihlabathi liphela. Isizathu esiphambili soku ngumgaqo osisiseko wokunyakaza kwe-pedal gymnastics, oku kukudibanisa umthambo wenyathelo kuvavanyo lokomelela komzimba kunye namanyathelo e-aerobics, kunye nokuziqhelanisa ne-pedal ethile—“umthambo we-pedal we-aerobic”.

Iimpawu zokuPeda
Ukuqina kwe-aerobic kufuna ukuba amandla omthambo ahlale egcinwe kwinqanaba eliphakathi okanye eliphantsi, ngelixa umthambo we-pedal unokulungisa amandla omthambo ngokulungisa ukuphakama kwephedi phantsi kwe-pedal. Ukuze kugqitywe isenzo esifanayo, ukuphakama kwe-pedal kuphezulu, kokukhona amandla omthambo eba makhulu kwaye ukusetyenziswa kwamandla kukhulu, kwaye ngokuchaseneyo. Ngale ndlela, abo baqhelisela umthambo banokukhetha ii-pedals eziphakamileyo ezahlukeneyo ngokweemeko zabo kunye neenjongo zabo zokuzilolonga.
