Many women always can't distinguish aerobic exercise from anaerobic exercise, thinking that they can lose weight as long as they exercise, but the difference between them depends on whether the energy of muscle contraction comes from aerobic metabolism or anaerobic metabolism during exercise. So, do you lose weight by aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise? Let's get to know each other.

Can anaerobic exercise lose weight?

Anaerobic exercise not only helps to exercise muscles, but also is very effective for burning fat. For example, doing aerobic exercise for 20 minutes is equivalent to turning on the engine when the car is stationary and turning it off after 20 minutes. In this case, as long as the engine is running, the oil is constantly being consumed.

Anaerobic exercise not only burns fat during exercise, but also continues to consume fat after exercise, and the fat burning effect can last for more than 48 hours! In this process, the damaged muscles are constantly repaired and the energy is constantly consumed, which is equivalent to the engine running for 48 hours. So the answer is beyond doubt.

Anaerobic exercise can burn body fat for 48 hours. So the same training for 20 minutes, the effect of burning fat by anaerobic exercise is much higher than that by aerobic exercise.

Anaerobic exercise or aerobic exercise can lose weight better?

Nowadays, the popular view in the international sports medicine field is that the exercise with the highest fat-reducing efficiency is high-intensity anaerobic intermittent exercise within the same exercise time. After high-intensity anaerobic intermittent exercise stops, the energy consumed by the body is much greater than that after aerobic exercise stops. For some fat people, aerobic exercise is difficult to lose weight successfully, because it is difficult to keep exercising for more than half an hour. Short-term high-intensity anaerobic intermittent exercise may be better and easier to lose weight. Anaerobic exercise helps us to increase muscles and shape muscle lines, which is more suitable for young people.

From the above, we can know that anaerobic exercise is really a good assistant to lose weight compared with aerobic exercise. It can not only greatly increase the body's muscle mass, but also improve the resting metabolic rate. So as to achieve the purpose of losing weight. If diet is added to exercise to lose weight, the effect will be more obvious.
