Aerobic Exercise
June 14, 2008There are two major categories of exercise: aerobic and anaerobic. Thses are based on two forms of chemical reaction that produce energy within the human body - one form requiring oxygen, one not. The aerobic form that requires oxygen includes all casual activity as well as all activity that doesn’t exhaust the muscles whike anaerobic exercise is the opposite of aerobic exercisse. (Well, actually, no exercise is the opposite of aerobic exercise, but hopefully you get the idea.) it occurs when a part of the body’s muscle tissue runs out of oxygen stores during exertion. The lack of oxygen exhausts and slightly tears apart the muscles, forcing them to rebuild with more mass. Weight lifting is an example of anaearobic exercise.
