Anaerobic exercise is a great way to gain strength
and feel better about yourself and your self-discipline.
The results are gratifying and are due to you—and
you alone! You are the master of your own destiny with
anaerobic exercises. Anaerobic exercise burns more calories
than aerobic exercise because each movement generates
more force from the cells. However, when muscle cells
contract with more force they switch to using carbohydrates
as the main energy source. This type of exercise may seem
incorrect for weight loss but in fact it helps produce
an adaptive response with a side effect of an increased
metabolic rate. During periods of rest the cells accelerate
the fat burning process and this speeds up your metabolism.
Basically,
the more muscle you have, the more calories those muscles
will burn throughout the course of the day. Keep building
those muscles by performing anaerobic exercises at least
2-4 times each week and you'll get that metabolism revving!
