♥ Aerobic vs. Anaerobic
Although both exercises are good for you, it is important to know the difference of the two. The main differences is that Aerobic exercises are longer, while Anaerobic exercises are generally shorter and to the point. Aerobic exercises call for more oxygen there for needing more endurance. Anaerobic exercises however rely on cellular tissue for energy instead of oxygen.
Before I go on lets look at which activities are for which exercise.
Aerobic= roller blading, walking, cycling, kick boxing, swimming, cross country and running.
Anaerobic= weight lifting, jumping, tennis, and even sprinting.
Anaerobic exercises are usually done in under around 30 seconds or so. Anaerobic exercises build power and high intensity strength. Where as aerobic exercises are spread over a period of time and are more for endurance. Aerobics also burns fat and tones m muscles. Some benefits of aerobic exercises are;
1. Reduced cholesterol, blood pressure, and fat
2. Strengthening your heart which helps pumping efficiency
3. Reducing more red blood cells which helps fro more oxygen in the body
4. Strengthens your bones and muscles
5. Reduces risk of diabetes, heart disease, vascular disease and lung function
Those are just some of the many benefits that Aerobics offers to you and your body.
While Anaerobic are shorter, they have a few huge benefits as well. One benefit is that it increases your energy. Anaerobic also speeds up your metabolism and lowers blood sugar. Your metabolism is vital for weight loss and weight gain. The weight and density of your bones will increase when participating in anaerobic exercises. Aside from this, your joints will harden. As you build muscle, you protect your joints and ligaments. A few other benefits are; increased mass and muscle strength, and an increase in power and speed.
The mistake most people make is doing other one or the other. They think that one is enough for a true work out. Although aerobics are great and can be done alone, you will see better results if you incorporate Anaerobic. These two combined will help to keep you in great physical and mental shape.
Make sure to always stretch before you start any type of work out. This will allow for more flexibility and looser muscles. Not stretching can cause muscle pain and a tear in muscles or ligaments. Over time you should gradually add more intensity to your workout. Along with a sufficient amount of sleep and a hearty diet, you’re set to go!
