Anaerobic Exercise
Did You Know...
There are two types of exercise?
If you can talk while you are exercising then you are doing aerobic exercise. If you are short of breath or straining then you are doing anaerobic exercise.
What is Anaerobic Exercise?
Anaerobic exercise involves a "hard" workout such as sprinting or lifting heavy weights with minimal reps. The only problem with this type of exercise is that it is often the only type most men will do...
As a result, they looked "ripped" on the outside, but they aren't very healthy on the inside.
Health and fitness are two different things. To get up from your chair and go run three miles as fast as you can or to hit the weights for an hour after work are not necessarily healthy activities unless you are doing aerobic exercise as well.
When you only participate in anaerobic exercise your body becomes depleted and overworked. You often burn off too much sugar and put extra stress your heart and other vital organs. Many people think that they are getting in shape because of their outer appearance, but working out improperly is detrimental to your body.
Anaerobic exercise can cause many health problems associated with your neck and back, tendons, ligaments, joints, and muscles. Anaerobic exercise is only good for you when your body is healthy enough for it.
What Is Aerobic Exercise?
The word aerobic means in the presence of oxygen. Aerobic exercise burns off fat instead of sugar. You can lift heavy weights all day long and build bulky muscle, but if you want to get lean, healthy, and fit you should try:
* Walking
* Jogging
* Biking
* Lifting light weights with a lot of reps (toning)
Aerobic exercise is healthier for your body than anaerobic exercise and should always be done prior to anaerobic exercise to "warm up" your body for heavy exercise. This will reduce the likelihood of injury and ensure that your body is ready for the heavy strain anaerobic exercise can cause.
