Is weight loss aerobic or anaerobic?
Aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise are two different types of exercise and have different effects on weight loss.

Aerobic exercise is a kind of exercise with long duration and stable rhythm, such as jogging, brisk walking, swimming and cycling. This kind of exercise mainly provides energy by burning fat, so it has a good effect on losing weight. Aerobic exercise can improve heart and lung function, increase the metabolic rate of the body, consume more calories at the same time, and help to lose weight and body fat.

Anaerobic exercise is a kind of high-intensity and explosive exercise in a short time, such as weightlifting, sprint, high jump and throwing. Because anaerobic exercise is too fast and explosive, the sugar in the human body cannot be decomposed by oxygen, but anaerobic energy can produce lactic acid, which leads to muscle fatigue and soreness. Although anaerobic exercise can consume a lot of energy in a short time, it can't last for a long time and has little effect on muscle growth and shaping.

Therefore, if you want to lose weight, you'd better choose aerobic exercise. Of course, anaerobic exercise is not completely unsuitable for weight loss. On the basis of aerobic exercise, proper anaerobic exercise is helpful to increase muscle mass, improve metabolic rate and accelerate fat burning effect. If you want to lose weight faster, you can try to combine aerobic exercise with anaerobic exercise and make a comprehensive weight loss plan to achieve better weight loss effect.

In a word, if you want to lose weight successfully, you must distinguish the characteristics and application scope of aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise, and arrange the exercise plan reasonably to achieve the best weight loss effect. At the same time, we should also pay attention to moderate exercise to avoid excessive fatigue damage.
