Aerobic exercise refers to the physical exercise carried out by the human body under the condition of adequate oxygen supply. That is to say, in the process of exercise, the oxygen inhaled by the human body is equal to the demand, achieving physiological balance. Simply put, it refers to any rhythmic exercise with a long time (about 15 minutes or more) and moderate or above intensity (75% to 85% of the maximum heart rate). Whether it is "aerobic exercise" is measured by heart rate. Exercise with heart rate 150 beats/min is aerobic exercise, because blood can supply enough oxygen to myocardium at this time; So it is characterized by low intensity, fast pace and long duration. It is required that the exercise time should not be less than 1 hour, and it should be carried out 3 to 5 times a week. This kind of exercise, oxygen can fully ferment the sugar in the body, consume the fat in the body, enhance and improve the cardiopulmonary function, prevent osteoporosis, and adjust the psychological and mental state, which is the main exercise mode of fitness. So, if you are overweight and want to lose weight through exercise, I suggest you choose aerobic exercise, such as jogging and cycling. These exercises can not only achieve the purpose of consuming body fat, but also be simple and easy to do.

Anaerobic exercise refers to the high-speed and intense exercise of muscles in the state of "hypoxia". Anaerobic exercise is mostly an exercise with high load intensity and strong instantaneity, which is difficult to last and the time for fatigue elimination is slow. The biggest feature of anaerobic exercise is that the oxygen intake during exercise is very low. Because the speed is too fast and the explosive force is too strong, the sugar in the human body cannot be decomposed by oxygen, so we have to rely on "anaerobic energy supply". This kind of exercise makes the body produce too much lactic acid, which leads to muscle fatigue, muscle soreness and shortness of breath after exercise. If you want to make your body stronger, you can go to the gym to take part in anaerobic exercise. However, when exercising, it is best to listen to the guidance of the coach and choose a training plan that suits you.

Personally, I think aerobic exercise is helpful to lose weight.
