Our common exercise is mainly divided into aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. Let's briefly introduce what aerobic and anaerobic exercise is.
aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise is a kind of low-intensity exercise, which can last for a long time and most muscle groups in the whole body participate. There are many common forms of aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan, cycling, long-distance swimming and so on. During aerobic exercise, muscle energy mainly comes from the thorough oxidation of sugar and fat in the body. The complete oxidation of sugar and fat takes a certain time, so it can't provide energy quickly, and it can't provide energy for short-term high-intensity sports (such as 100-meter running). Only when sugar and fat are completely oxidized can we generate more energy and maintain long-term exercise.
anaerobic exercise
Anaerobic exercise is a kind of exercise with high intensity and short exercise time. The heart rate is higher during anaerobic exercise. Common anaerobic exercises include 100m running, weight lifting, throwing and diving. The energy sources of muscle during anaerobic exercise are mainly adenosine triphosphate, creatine phosphate and anaerobic glycolysis of sugar. Adenosine triphosphate and creatine phosphate are limited in the body, and the energy produced by anaerobic glycolysis is far less than that produced by aerobic metabolism, so the duration of anaerobic exercise is short. ATP can provide energy quickly, so it can provide energy for high-intensity exercise.
Pamela has many courses, including high-intensity short-term anaerobic exercise and relatively low-intensity aerobic exercise, but anaerobic exercise is the main one.
After explaining the problems of aerobic and anaerobic, let's think about it again. What do we exercise for?
lose weight
Many people want to exercise in order to lose weight first, so many times we pay too much attention to the figures in weighing scale and ignore the physical changes. When we don't exercise for a long time and suddenly do large-scale exercise, our bodies will think that we are in a state of emergency, such as illness and excessive pain. At this time, our body will mobilize fat and other tissues to strengthen our cardiopulmonary function and better adapt to our body, so our body will have short-term weight changes or gains. And many people think that I have worked hard for so long, eaten a lot and gained weight. Actually, it's not. After exercise, you must supplement carbohydrates and protein in time to supplement your body's needs and promote muscle reconstruction.
Fat-reducing shaping
Besides losing weight, some people exercise mainly to make one or several parts of their bodies look better. For example, practicing your back. In this process, the truth is actually the same. We should pay more attention to whether our waistline has changed and whether our waist muscles have tightened, instead of just looking at the figures in weighing scale.
Well, it's all yours. I hope you can combine aerobic exercise with anaerobic exercise, plan your diet better and have a good figure as soon as possible.
