Should I do aerobic exercise first or anaerobic exercise first for fat loss

When summer comes, the season when people should show off their legs and flesh, many people will be very distressed that they ate too much in the winter. The circles of fat on the belly look very ugly when wearing clothes. So more and more people will start exercising to achieve the goal of losing weight. When losing fat, should you do aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise first? Let’s take a look at it together.

For those who want to lose weight, aerobic exercise is the most suitable. The weight loss principle of aerobic exercise is that when people engage in long-term endurance exercise, the calories provided by sugar in the body are far from meeting the needs. By increasing the supply of oxygen, the fat in the body is oxidized and decomposed to generate heat energy for the human body to use. This type of exercise allows oxygen to fully burn (i.e. oxidize) the sugar in the body, consume body fat, enhance and improve cardiopulmonary function, prevent osteoporosis, and regulate psychological and mental state. It is the main form of exercise for fitness. Therefore, if you are overweight and want to lose weight through exercise, it is recommended to choose aerobic exercise, such as jogging and cycling.

After the aerobic exercise, you can do some anaerobic exercise appropriately. Anaerobic exercise can strengthen muscle firmness, maintain the sustainability of fat reduction effects, and make the weight loss effects last longer.

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". This type of exercise will produce too much lactic acid in the body, causing muscle fatigue and inability to last long. You will feel muscle soreness and shortness of breath after exercise.

After the anaerobic exercise, you can do some aerobic exercise to achieve the effect of fat loss. But you can't do too much aerobic exercise, because it will consume muscles to a certain extent.
