The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercises with music on the behavioral patterns of housewives. The research method was pre-test and post-test with a control group. Among all housewives of Bukan city, 30 people (15 control group and 15 experimental group) aged 20 to 35 years were randomly selected. The experimental group received the selected aerobic exercise program with music for 8 weeks. Questionnaire for measurement of behavioral patterns (DISC) was used and statistical analysis was done with WILEY DISC Classic System and SPSS software.

Aerobics with the combination of music, in addition to the physical dimension, is also associated with many effects in the psychological dimension. Aerobics, as a fully functional and affordable sport, can influence the behavioral patterns of housewives, which, considering the role and status of women, will also affect the health of the society and the strength of the family. Therefore, efforts to institutionalize and encourage housewives to participate in sports such as aerobics should be on the agenda.
