Today I’m going to teach you how to distinguish between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise! Everyone knows that exercise is important to lose weight, but they are often unclear about what is anaerobic exercise and what is aerobic exercise? Aerobic exercise Anaerobic exercise, as the name suggests, is whether you can breathe well during exercise. This is the best method to separate.
1. Anaerobic exercise
Basically, the exercise time is within 2 minutes, the exercise intensity is high, and the exercise cannot be continued for more than two minutes, such as sprinting, weightlifting, 100-meter run, and 50-meter swimming competition. The glycolysis system is used to provide energy during exercise. Lactic acid will accumulate rapidly, and the muscles will be extremely sore, fatigued, unable to contract anymore, and unable to breathe well during exercise, even if it is "anaerobic exercise".
2. Aerobic exercise
The exercise time is between 2 minutes and more than 1 hour. The exercise intensity is moderate or low and can last for a long time. The most important thing is that during the exercise, the aerobic system is used to provide energy and requires the participation of oxygen, which means that it can Breathe well, such as brisk walking, jogging, riding a bicycle, climbing, jumping, etc., which are all considered "aerobic exercises".
Because the aerobic system mainly uses 70% fat and 30% carbohydrate to provide energy, and the intensity of aerobic exercise is low in the early stages of weight loss, it is a good starting point for those who want to lose weight. After 30 minutes of exercise, the aerobic systemThe efficiency of using fat to burn energy will reach its highest level, so it is generally recommended that exercise within 30 minutes to 1 hour is most appropriate. Aerobic exercise mainly uses fat as energy. Although fat burning is more efficient, it is not easy to build muscles. Anaerobic exercise mainly uses glycogen and lactic acid to provide energy. For the same exercise for 30 minutes, "anaerobic exercise" The weight loss efficiency is better than aerobic exercise. However, the intensity of anaerobic exercise is generally relatively high. It is recommended that novices start with aerobic exercise and then do anaerobic exercise.
