Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise: What You Need To Know

By: Dr Edward Steiner

There are two main types of exercise. Aerobic and Anaeobic
exercise. Let's start with the first one. Aerobic literally
means with oxygen. Aerobic exercise has an important
distinction; it burns fat as its main fuel. Can anyone find a
use for this? Anaerobic means without oxygen. Anaerobic burns
sugar as its main fuel. Despite popular myth, exercise doesn't
have to be drastic to provide massive physiological benefits.
Even light exercise will burn fat.

Light exercise clears out lactic acid (a waste product in the
body) and stimulates cells to regenerate. To ensure you're
exercising aerobically (burning fat) rather than exercising
anaerobically, it's important to ensure you do several things as
you exercise.

The most important is to breathe deep as you exercise. Breathe
in deep into your stomach through your nose, hold it and then
exhale hard through your mouth.

Secondly, make sure that you exercise at a level that's
comfortable. Exercise at a level of 7/10. You should still be
able to carry on a conversation while you exercise. Do this for
at least 45 minutes a day and notice your energy explode.

Do you think you don't have time to do this? There is always
time. Use the time you would have spent sleeping to replenish
your body. I guarantee that you'll need less sleep. Use the time
in your lunch break to exercise. The increase in productivity
will have you more on the ball, and save you time through the
dramatic increase in productivity. See, with the increased
oxygen from aerobic exercise your brain speed and efficiency
increases.

Ride a bike, walk, swim or play sport. Rebounding (or
cellularise as it's now known) is one of the best forms of
aerobic exercise around. If you have access to a rebounder, use
it. Use any break you have whilst working to engage in some form
of movement and deep breathing.

Exercise also strongly benefits the heart. It literally makes it
a larger and stronger organ. Deep breathing makes the lungs
stronger and larger. Research is now linking exercise to helping
benefit and prevent almost every type of disease or ailment.
Movement of any joints promotes blood flow and creates energy.
Sitting down all day actually robs the body of energy. If you
sit down all day it's absolutely vital that you promote blood
flow, circulation, energy, brain flow and the strength of your
heart.
