What are aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise?
Exercise can be divided into aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise, and the main factors that distinguish them are the way of cell respiration, aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Generally speaking, lifting dumbbells, push-ups and muscles are directly related, that is, anaerobic exercise, anaerobic respiration of cells will produce lactic acid, so you will feel muscle pain; For example, running and swimming are aerobic breathing.

One: Aerobic exercise

The measure of aerobic exercise is your heart rate: the amount of exercise that keeps your heart rate at 150 beats/min is aerobic exercise. At this time, you are full of oxygen, which can be understood as the oxygen inhaled by the human body equals the demand. Aerobic exercise is characterized by low intensity, fast pace and long duration. Generally speaking, each exercise time should not be less than 30 minutes.

According to these standards, several kinds of exercise are obviously aerobic exercise. The first is swimming, which is well deserved as the first aerobic exercise. Swimming is different from exercising muscles. You are fighting the resistance in water instead of gravity, so the probability of your muscles and joints being injured will be greatly reduced, and swimming in cold water consumes much more calories than swimming on land, which is very suitable for losing weight.

If there is no swimming condition, running is also a good swimming exercise. It should be noted that running refers to moderate and slow running, not a 100-meter sprint. Other aerobic exercises include cycling and mountain climbing.

Two: anaerobic exercise

When we are lifting weights, wrestling or sprinting for 100 meters, our bodies need a lot of energy in an instant. If aerobic exercise alone can't support it, cells will breathe without oxygen. This can be called anaerobic exercise.

Generally speaking, all the equipment you see in the gym except treadmills and bicycles belong to anaerobic exercise. We usually do anaerobic exercise in the gym. After anaerobic exercise, the body will produce a lot of lactic acid, and the muscles will be extremely sore, which is very good for exercising muscles. However, the effect of burning fat may not be as good as aerobic exercise at some time, and you need to weigh it yourself.
