Aerobics sport

I've been hearing a lot that wrestling is a good cardiovascular exercise and it also tones as well as strengthens muscle So I want to know if that is true? thanks

I don't know much about wrestling, but if you're looking for a good aerobics sport try boxing. It's one of the most intense aerobics workout I've ever had. 2 minutes on the heavy bag & I'm ready to pass out!

Wrestling is more of an anaerobic sport, much like short sprints in track. It is developing your body's strength to go hard in short bursts, but not preparing the body for endurance. So, look at your goals...Do you want to have endurance and be able to sustain your strength (total body) for greater periods of time? You will burn calories and get in shape wrestling, but you will not develop much endurance with the sport. Wrestling, however, is a INCREDIBLY difficult sport for the mind and body and is very demanding. You are just training your body differently than, let's say, running at extended periods of time.
