Heart-improving physical exercises (8)

I believe the answer is:

aerobics

(Other definitions for aerobics that I've seen before include "Form of exercise" , "Fitness system" , "Exercises designed to strengthen heart and lungs" , "Sort of exercises that make Boris ache badly after an hour's gone" , "System of exercises" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
