💥Aerobic/Anaerobic Benefits💥 - 📈 Here's a helpful chart that shows many of the benefits of both aerobic and anaerobic exercise - 🚨 Disclaimer: This list is not "all-inclusive", but is meant to highlight the many potential benefits of each type of training. Also, I tried to keep things simple in the graphic and the descriptions below, so if you think I could have explained in more detail or been more "sciency", you're right. But that's what books 📚 are for 😉 - 🏃 AEROBIC: literally means "relating to, involving, or requiring free oxygen" - 📌It is low-to-moderate intensity exercise that relies primarily on aerobic metabolism (using primarily oxygen for energy), which can be performed for 2-3 minutes or more without resting - 🚴Common forms of aerobic exercise include walking, jogging, low-intensity cycling, etc. However this can be applied to any type of exercise as long as the INTENSITY is not too high and can be performed for a longer DURATION with minimal or no rest - 🏋🏻 ANAEROBIC: literally means "occurring in the absence of free oxygen" - 📌It is moderate to high intensity exercise that relies primarily on anaerobic metabolism (i.e. exercise that is too intense to efficiently use oxygen for energy), which is typically performed anywhere from 0-2 minutes - ⛹🏻Common forms of anaerobic exercise include sprints, weightlifting, plyometrics, HIIT (high intensity interval training), etc. However this can be applied to any type of exercise as long as the INTENSITY is high enough and is not sustainable without rest for over 2 minutes - 🚨 Keep in mind, for most types of exercise you will have a MIX of both anaerobic and aerobic metabolism, but the ratio of each will be adjusted based on the intensity and the duration of the exercise you are performing 💪🏼 . . . 📚 Baechle, T.
