Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise: Which Is Better To Burn Fat
During aerobic exercises there is significant oxygen intake needed to sustain a current level of physical activity without using additional energy from another energy source
During anaerobic exercise, oxygen consumption is not sufficient enough to supply the energy demands of your muscles. Therefore your muscles begin to breakdown sugars and carbohydrates for an energy source.
Aerobic exercise is light activity you can sustain over long periods of time, such as jogging/running.
Anaerobic activity is bursts of activity for short periods of time, such as sprinting.
So, which burns fat?
BOTH!! However these are the main differences.
Aerobic exercise does boost the metabolism that will last for hours after the workout, it increases your endurance and cardiac health.
Anaerobic exercises burn fat and also help you to gain lean muscle mass.
