Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise
By: Craig Johnson and Frank Junkovic
Did You Know...
- That depending on your exercise you can lose weight or have a bigger body!
(anonymous source)
Health News
- Statistics show that 50% of Americans are overweight. (Lauren Cohn, Fox
News Chicago)
Aerobic Exercise
- Aerobic exercise is exercise that involves vigorous and continuous physical
activity for at least 20 minutes
- Some examples include swimming and roller-skating.
Aerobic Exercise
Characteristics
- uses more oxygen
- raises your metabolism
- causes fat, not blood sugar, to be burned as fuel
- THR is between 70% and 85% of intensity.
Anaerobic Exercise
Characteristics
- oxygen is not present, and is unnecessary
- will not help to increase metabolism or lose weight
- uses blood sugar, not fat, as fuel
- THR is raised to 92% of intensity.
Conclusion
- We conclude that exercise benefits everyone for different health purposes
whether one is trying to lose weight or gain weight to increase muscle mass.
Recommendation
- People trying to lose weight should engage in aerobic exercise, such as
walking or biking.
- People trying to gain muscle should engage in anaerobic exercise, such
as calisthenics and sprinting.

Workout Stages
By: Robert Velasco and Darell Velasco
“Serious Exercise starts with a warm-up and ends with a cool-Down”
(www.body-basics.com/libtwo/html)

- continuos exercise
2 warm-up- stretch and tone muscle groups (8-10)
Conditioning

- Exercise should last 20-30 min.
- Intensity of workout is decided by the overload of the weight lifted
Cool-down
