Can you lose fat only by doing anaerobic exercise?
Anaerobic exercise does have the effect of reducing fat, but it is very small.

Because anaerobic exercise provides energy for muscles during exercise, it is glycogen in muscles, not fat, so anaerobic exercise basically does not lose fat. Anaerobic exercise, as its name implies, is strenuous exercise in a state of "hypoxia". High load intensity, strong immediacy, difficult to last, such as weightlifting, sprint, fighting, bodybuilding training, etc. Anaerobic exercise mainly obtains energy through glycolysis of glucose and glycogen, which is the main force to consume sugar reserves in the body, while fat metabolism needs sufficient oxygen, so it is rarely used passively. It can be seen that only doing anaerobic exercise will not have a weight loss effect.

Anaerobic exercise refers to the exercise of holding your breath instantly. At the moment when you stop breathing, oxygen can't be transported and you can't consume fat like aerobic exercise. This kind of exercise is also easy to cause muscle injury, easy to produce fatigue substance lactic acid, causing muscle pain, and sudden exertion is easy to raise blood pressure. If the purpose is to lose weight or keep fit, it is not suitable for anaerobic exercise.
