Ep 13: Daily - Exercise - Aerobic (Cardio) vs Anaerobic (Lifting stuff) Exercise
from Flex Diet Podcast · host Dr. Mike T Nelson, Jodie "Fabulous" Nelson, Jessica Depatie
On the topic of the effects of exercise, we need to chat about the difference in aerobic exercise versus anaerobic exercise. Now for some of you, those may be a very simple review, but I think these concepts get a little bit mixed up and for good reason. So just like when we're talking about metabolic flexibility where the body is using this mixture of fat and carbohydrates at any one time, we can kind of think of that in terms of aerobic and anaerobic. These things (fuel & exercise) are not so much a hard switches per se, but are more like dimmer switches. We're always turning to a little higher percentage of aerobic capacity or metabolism or returning to a little bit higher portion of anaerobic metabolism. Let's research this further.
