Exercise Energy Systems | Aerobic vs. Anaerobic

Maybe you knew that your body uses different energy systems depending on what type of activity you do. Maybe you did not! Doing a moderate, sustained activity has different requirements than short, intense bursts. Check out the difference between aerobic and anaerobic energy systems!

Interesting and possibly useful to know, but is knowing the science and technical aspects necessary for staying healthy?

This video was so helpful without being confusing to non-science nerds, thank you!

Straight to the point, thanks.
My garmin fenix always says I get low anaerobic exercise, even when I use it in the gym which is weird

I switched away from a deep chemistry dive into anaerobic exercise, and found your video so I appreciate it. Cuz by some Indian lady who had a thick accent and had all the molecular cellular terms being pronounced. It overtax my poor brain. I'm now doing both. Like you said I do my normal exercises and then I go until I feel the burn and make ugly faces when I do other certain exercise aka anaerobic. So then I have make sure I'm doing both

perfect explanation, thanks a lot. My usual run is 10k at 170-180bpm and i am sooo tired after. I am fine while running, feel the effort, great speed. Now new Garmin watch said that my anaerobic is 5.0 (overtraining). Googled. So my my last 2 runs i watched my bpm to be 160 and i feel great! Slow, but can function after the run :) I was just trying to run fast, when i had just to listen.

Hey I was looking through pubmed and couldn’t find studies from the past 15 or so years that confirmed that lactic acid causes muscle soreness, but I do remember being taught that in school in the early 2000s. Just wondering, do you have a source?
