How To Decide Which Exercise Is Right For You

by Stephanie Wilkinsen

If you are reading this, you are likely interested in exercising to lose weight. Every person who has lost a considerable amount of weight will tell you that the secret is a the right combination of diet, and exercise. In this article, I'll be talking about exercise. If you can choose an exercise that you are comfortable doing on a regular basis, then you're halfway there.

The first two considerations are aerobic exercise, and anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise uses a combination of oxygen and stored fuel (hopefully from fat) to produce energy. These are all exercises that lasts more than a couple of minutes, and gets your breathing rate and your pulse up.

Running is by far the most popular form of aerobic activity. Cycling, swimming, speed walking and rowing are also favorites. If you visit the gym, they'll usually have a whole section dedicated to aerobic exercise. Stationary bikes are popular because you can get a good workout without putting too much pressure on your joints.

The other side, anaerobic exercises, work by burning fuel already stored in the muscle. This is why you can only do them until you are out of breath. They don't use oxygen for energy. These are fantastic for building muscle tone and muscle definition. You can readily find hundreds of different exercises to do this at the gym.

Which is best? Whichever you feel the most comfortable doing. If you like the lean, slim look, go for running or cycling. If you are looking for a toned, chiseled look, go for weight training or circuit training. Either way, whichever you feel most comfortable with is best for you.

Of course, some will say that the ideal is a combination of these two. Many will run on one day, and lift weights the next. Some even do both every single day. The secret is to find whatever you feel most comfortable for you, and to stick with it. The longer you do these on a regular basis, the better results you'll have.
