Like half-hours on the elliptical machine at 70% maximum heart rate. I have been lead to believe that aerobic workouts is that level of exercise for which you could talk while you're doing it as opposed to being completely engrossed in breathing and grunting and trying to not throw up. That latter type is anaerobic because you're not getting oxygen to your muscles fast enough to clear out the lactic acid buildup or whatever. It doesn't help you do 25 km quickly, but it does help you do 25km and be ready to do it again. Anyway, just wrote to say hi, since a strange sequence of events put you in my mind.
