The simplest and most intuitive distinction: exercise with low intensity but long duration, strong sense of rhythm or repetition, usually aerobic exercise. Exercise with high intensity, short duration and high physical consumption, usually anaerobic exercise.
There are three kinds of energy consumed by human body during exercise: sugar, fat and protein. Aerobic exercise mainly consumes sugar and fat, while anaerobic exercise mainly uses sugar as fuel. That's why you need to do aerobic exercise to lose weight. Because aerobic exercise takes a long time, during such a long time, oxygen must accompany breathing to participate in exercise. When oxygen participates in aerobic metabolism, it will first decompose glycogen in your body. Generally speaking, it is generally believed that glycogen will slowly decompose in about 20 minutes. The movement is still going on at this time, so where does the fuel come from?
Yes, fat began to serve as fuel. At this time, your fat will react with oxygen and burn gradually, and then the burning ash will be metabolized during exercise. So you become slim and sexy. Anaerobic exercise is more intense. General strength training is anaerobic exercise. During exercise, you need more oxygen than your maximum oxygen intake. At this time, muscle glycogen begins to supply energy, and at the same time, due to insufficient function, the body will mobilize the energy in muscle cells to participate in energy supply. In this process, a large number of muscle cells will be torn, accompanied by the production of lactic acid, a metabolite. So when you do strength training, you will feel very sore muscles. Then the torn cells will grow and repair again, becoming bigger and stronger. Then your muscles will become plump!
In addition, it should be reminded that there is no absolute aerobic exercise and there is no absolute anaerobic exercise. In other words, even when practicing strength, there will actually be a small amount of fat consumption. And when you jog, a small number of muscles will be exercised. Therefore, the distinction between aerobic and anaerobic depends on which energy supply mode is the main mode in exercise. In fact, the best way to lose weight is to do anaerobic exercise first and consume glycogen; Then do aerobic exercise and kill fat directly. But this method is too cruel and tiring, so I don't particularly recommend it for newcomers. All right! Aerobic exercise that wants to lose weight and feel at ease, come on! Jogging, useful, cycling, pilates, skipping rope can be, choose what you like. Exercise for not less than 20 minutes at a time, and not more than 60 minutes is the most effective. It is most reasonable to exercise three to five times a week.
Stick to it for a few months and meet a new self!
