Anaerobic exercise is a higher intensity, higher power version of exercise that breaks down glucose for energy without using oxygen. It is a very common and effective workout.
Aerobic exercise uses oxygen to produce energy, while anaerobic exercise relies on energy sources stored in your muscles.
Anaerobic exercise can only use glucose for fuel, while aerobic exercise can use both fat and oxygen to produce energy.
When you exercise vigorously, your muscles must use glucose to produce energy without oxygen. This process produces lactic acid, which is why you get tired so quickly.
Anaerobic exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight by helping your body handle lactic acid more effectively.
Anaerobic exercises push your body to rely on energy sources stored in your muscles, without oxygen.
