Why is this message at the bottom? "This article is part of the alternative positions on health, healing, and illness series." Aerobic exercise is quite a mainstream medical recommendation. Quadell (talk) 15:48, Jun 1, 2004 (UTC)
- Every article can be classsified more than one way. So, it is with a lot of mainstream activities like exercise and diet. They are part of natural approaches to health such as Natural hygiene which is classified alternative medicine.

Circuit pattern undefined
- circuit
I'm not sure exactly how to define this; I think it consists of a combination of hills and intervals, but I'm just not sure. I mean the aerobic circuit-training pattern, not circuit weight-training. Blair P. Houghton 19:33, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Semi-reversions
- I put back some stuff and cleaned up others (Indian Running can be used in cycling, e.g., so I made it less specific). The distinction between circuit weight training and circuit aerobics is significant in a pedantic way, so I made it. CWT can be aerobic, but the circuit aerobic pattern isn't that; it's more like a simulation of a real-world race loop in gym conditions.
At some point I'll remind myself to find some refs for the "intervals are better than endurance for vo2-max improvement" crack, but the whole point of interval training is that it jacks your speed and distance up much quicker than just trying to go a little faster and longer every day...
