Weight loss exercises are aerobic exercises, which are also called aerobic metabolic exercises. They refer to physical exercises performed by the human body with adequate oxygen supply. That is to say, during exercise, the amount of oxygen inhaled by the human body is equal to its demand, reaching a state of physiological balance. Therefore, it is characterized by low intensity, rhythm and long duration. Each exercise should last no less than 1 hour and should be done 3 to 5 times a week. This kind of exercise allows oxygen to fully break down sugar in the body, consume body fat, enhance and improve cardiopulmonary function, prevent osteoporosis, and regulate psychological and mental states. It is the main form of exercise for fitness. Common aerobic exercises include: walking, jogging, skating, swimming, cycling, Tai Chi, fitness dancing, rhythmic gymnastics, etc. So, if you are overweight, you want to lose weight through exercise.

Anaerobic exercise refers to the high-speed and intense movement of muscles in a state of "oxygen deprivation". Most anaerobic exercises are high-intensity and instantaneous, so they are difficult to sustain for a long time and fatigue is eliminated slowly. The biggest feature of anaerobic exercise is that the oxygen intake during exercise is very low. Due to the excessive speed and explosive power, the sugar in the human body does not have time to be decomposed by oxygen and has to rely on "anaerobic energy supply". Common anaerobic high jump, long jump, tug of war, muscle strength training, etc.
