Aerobic and anaerobic exercise

Everyone knows that exercise is good for us. But there are different kinds of exercise and they are good for different reasons.

Aerobic exercise

When we do aerobic exercise, we move our whole body and use lots of different muscles. We need lots of oxygen to burn fat and carbohydrates to give us energy. Aerobic exercise isn't always fast or difficult. It can be as easy as walking and jogging or as hard as dancing or swimming. The hardest aerobic exercise is when we do skilled sports like volleyball or tennis. Aerobic exercise is good for our heart and can also help us get thinner.

Anaerobic exercise

When we do anaerobic exercise, we only use some muscles because we want them to get stronger. We don't use a lot of oxygen and we only burn carbohydrates. Weightlifting, sit-ups and push-ups are examples of this. Anaerobic exercise is good for some muscles and also for our bones and joints.

3. Read the article again. Choose A (aerobic), AN (anaerobic) or B (both).
