    Aerobic means oxygen. Your muscles are working in an oxygen rich state. After 12 minutes it causes your body to produce FAT-burning enzymes.

    According to Covert Baily, an aerobic exercise is one that fits the following four requirements.

    A. Is steady, nonstop.
    B. Lasts twelve minutes minimum.
    C. Has a comfortable pace.
    D. Uses the muscles of the lower body.

    An easy way to measure if your training too hard/fast is a simple talk test. If you can't carry on a conversation without huffing and puffing for breath you need to slow down. If you can carry on a conversation without stopping every now and then for a breath then you need to go a little faster. You have to be doing some work. Your heart rate and your breathing needs to be elevated.

    Examples: walking/running, cycling, rowing, stair climbing, dancing.

    Aerobic exercise is an exercise that requires constant input of oxygen as "aero" is latin for air. Examples are walking, jogging, biking etc. If an exercise gets your heart rate up (blood moving faster so as to get oxygen to your muscles faster) then it is an aerobic exercise.

    Anaerobic exercise is an exercise that doesn't require constant input of oxygen as "anaero" means anti-air. Examples are body-building and weight lifting.

    Where aerobic exercise is good for stamina and your heart and arteries, anaerobic exercise is good for building muscle and weight loss (an ounce of muscle burns more calories at rest than an ounce of fat).

    Hope this helps.
