If we talk about the best exercise for weight loss, it must be the exercise that is large in volume and lasts for a long time. But not everyone can persist in high-intensity and continuous exercise! Every exercise has its merits, and not all exercises are suitable for everyone. Only the exercise that is most suitable for you is the best exercise for weight loss! The following are my suggestions:
If you want to find an exercise that is most suitable for you to help you lose weight, you must comprehensively consider your age, physical fitness, body shape, exercise foundation, exercise purpose and whether you have some physical fitness. Diseases, etc. On this basis, targeted "aerobic + anaerobic" exercise is the best way to exercise!
Those with no exercise background: It is recommended to start with low-intensity aerobic exercise. The advantage is that it is highly sustainable and can be easily practiced and persisted. These exercises can improve cardiorespiratory capacity and enhance physical fitness. After the cardiopulmonary capacity and physical fitness are enhanced, you can then start high-intensity exercise.
Those who are not fat but want a streamlined muscular body: mainly do anaerobic exercise. People who have no exercise foundation should still start anaerobic exercise step by step, after their cardiopulmonary capacity and physical strength have improved;
Muscle-type obese people: focus on aerobic exercise and avoid anaerobic exercise to weaken the muscles. More developed and fatter;
Those who have plenty of time to exercise: If you have plenty of time, the combination of anaerobic exercise and aerobic exercise will naturally have the best weight loss effect. Generally, we recommend doing aerobic exercise first. , and then perform anaerobic exercise;
Those with limited exercise time: Because time is limited, short-term high-intensity exercise is most suitable for this kind of people. You can combine aerobic exercise with anaerobic exercise and try high-intensity interval exercise (HIIT). The effect of fat loss and body shaping is also great!
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic?
Aerobic exercise: Exercise with relatively low intensity but that can be sustained for a long time is generally aerobic exercise. For example, our most common brisk walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, etc.
Anaerobic exercise: The exercise intensity is relatively high, the exercise is relatively violent, and the wheezing will be obvious in the first 2 minutes. Exercises that require a short rest before continuing are generally anaerobic exercises. Common anaerobic exercises include: plank support, weightlifting, 100-meter sprint, etc. Aerobic exercise consumes carbohydrates and fat in the body during exercise; while anaerobic exercise only consumes carbohydrates, which is why many of us say aerobic exercise is more effective in losing weight.
