If you want to get fit and healthy you need to understand the two
different types of exercise. They are anaerobic and aerobic exercise.
Anaerobic exercise involves a "hard" workout such as running or lifting heavy weights with minimal reps. Most people perform this when they work out. It needs to be known that while anaerobic exercise can build muscle it does not burn very much fat. It primarily burns off sugar.

The problem with anaerobic exercise is it is often the only exercise
people will do, and although their body may look good on the outside
because of all the muscle, they are not very healthy on the inside.
Health and fitness are two different things. To get up from your chair and go run three miles as fast as you can or to hit the weights for an hour after work are not necessarily healthy activities unless you are doing aerobic exercise as well.
Diet also plays a role as following an unhealthy diet will make anaerobic exercise even harder on your body. Protein, more protein, and a lot of fruit (for sugar) and vegetables are what you want in your diet if you are doing a lot of anaerobic exercise.

When you only participate in anaerobic exercise your body becomes depleted and overworked because you often burn off too much sugar and can put extra stress your heart and other vital organs. Many people think that they are getting in shape because they are absolutely exhausted after working out.
