What is the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise?

I don’t know how you understand these two words. Many people think that aerobic exercise is exercise with less oxygen consumption. Some people even think that aerobic exercise is mainly responsible for reducing fat and anaerobic exercise is responsible for gaining muscle. Is that really the case? What is the relationship between them?

In fact,The difference between these two exercise modes is that the metabolic mode of providing energy is different.Aerobic exercise mainly provides the energy needed for exercise through aerobic metabolism. Correspondingly, anaerobic exercise naturally refers to the exercise mode that provides energy through anaerobic metabolism.

It sounds like a clear line, but in fact, aerobic energy supply and anaerobic energy supply rarely exist independently. Often, a variety of energy supply methods work at the same time, so what we call aerobic or anaerobic exercise is only differentiated according to the main energy supply methods.

Aerobic vs anaerobic, which is easier to lose fat?

In fact, anaerobic exercise, like aerobic exercise, has a good fat-reducing effect. Fat is the energy reserve in our body. As long as we consume energy, we naturally consume fat. Just,Aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise consume different periods of energy.

Aerobic exercise mainly consumes energy during exercise, while anaerobic exercise will continue to consume energy after exercise and reduce the possibility of energy being converted into fat.Therefore, from the perspective of energy consumption, anaerobic exercise and aerobic exercise actually consume the same amount of fat.

From the point of view of shaping, anaerobic exercise also has many benefits. Many people are afraid of anaerobic exercise to train themselves into thick legs and shoulders, which is completely worrying. Although anaerobic exercise has the effect of strengthening muscles, it is by no means possible to build a big size by lifting iron casually in your spare time. Moreover, with the increase of muscle content, our own basal metabolism will also rise, and the body consumes more energy, which is more conducive to our fat loss.
