What is anaerobic exercise for weight loss?

Our country is now in the developing stage. For many people, we don’t really understand what anaerobic weight loss exercises are? For many developed countries, anaerobic exercise has become very popular. While pursuing material civilization, they pay more attention to spiritual civilization and physical health! However, as we develop, we have neglected our physical health due to the rapid accumulation of material things. More and more people are obese and have serious problems with the three highs. However, the invasion of culture makes us want to know more about health and cultural knowledge, and also makes us pay more attention to our physical health and want to have a healthy and handsome appearance. So what is anaerobic weight loss exercise?

Anaerobic exercise is relative to aerobic exercise. It refers to the high-speed and intense movement of muscles in a state of "oxygen deficiency". Aerobic or anaerobic is mainly distinguished by the way substances are metabolized in the human body during exercise. When doing aerobic exercise, the human body uses aerobic decomposition as a metabolic method. During exercise, the human body is in an environment with sufficient oxygen, consuming sugar, fat, and amino acids to produce energy to meet the body's needs. During anaerobic exercise, carbohydrates are mainly consumed for energy, rather than fat and protein. From the perspective of exercise characteristics, aerobic exercise has low intensity, is rhythmic, and can last longer; while anaerobic exercise has high intensity, is not sustainable for long, and can easily cause muscle fatigue and soreness.

Many exercise-based weight loss methods recommend aerobic exercise, believing that aerobic exercise can burn more fat. So does anaerobic exercise not help you lose weight? Of course not. Anaerobic exercise can also help you lose weight, but the way it does it is different from aerobic exercise. Exercise consumes calories. Generally speaking, the greater the intensity of the exercise, the more calories are consumed. That is to say, in the same exercise time, anaerobic exercise consumes more calories than aerobic exercise. However, the energy nutrients that consume calories in the two are different. Aerobic exercise can burn fat for energy, while anaerobic exercise mainly consumes glycogen. Judging from the exercise process, aerobic exercise is indeed better than anaerobic exercise in burning fat. But in fact, anaerobic exercise also consumes fat, but the amount of fat consumed decreases as the intensity of exercise increases and the exercise time becomes longer. Moderate to low intensity anaerobic exercise can still consume a certain amount of fat.

The weight-loss effect of anaerobic exercise mainly occurs after exercise. During exercise, anaerobic exercise consumes less fat than aerobic exercise. However, after exercise, anaerobic exercise will continue to consume calories, and its energy consumption is much greater than after aerobic exercise stops. In addition, anaerobic exercise can strengthen muscles and increase muscle tissue. The increase in muscle mass can increase the basal metabolic rate, thereby leading to more calorie consumption to achieve the goal of weight loss.

Doing only aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise is not very efficient in losing weight. The most effective exercise for losing weight is high-intensity interval training. High-intensity interval training combines aerobic and anaerobic exercise to maximize the benefits of both. However, high-intensity interval training requires certain athletic ability. If you don't think you can do high-intensity interval training, try doing anaerobic exercise first and then aerobic exercise. Do anaerobic exercise for more than ten minutes to consume glycogen, and then do aerobic exercise to enter the fat burning stage earlier and improve weight loss efficiency.

Before understanding this knowledge, many people believed that aerobic exercise was the most effective fat-burning exercise. However, after reading the interpretation of anaerobic weight loss exercise, we may be surprised to find that anaerobic exercise can also help lose weight, and can better promote blood circulation, increase body muscle tissue, and shape a beautiful body while losing weight. Let us do anaerobic exercises to lose weight in a healthy way!
