Is Yoga an aerobic exercise

As for the question of “aerobic and anaerobic”, I believe it should be a very troublesome problem for Xiaobai who has just come into contact with fitness. What is aerobic and what is anaerobic? Is Yoga an aerobic exercise? Let’s carefully analyze this issue today.

What is aerobic and what is anaerobic

Aerobic exercise, generally speaking, is a kind of moderate intensity exercise, mainly involving large muscle groups in the body. After detailed analysis, you will find that this is a question about oxygen. When the exercise intensity is not high, the energy consumed will be very small. Oxygen has enough time to deliver to tissue cells to help burn heat. This kind of exercise is aerobic exercise.

In anaerobic exercise, when people perform strenuous exercise and the exercise intensity further increases, when slow muscle fibers use fat to provide energy at the maximum speed, it is unnecessary to use sugar with faster energy supply to replace the original fat because it still needs to use this muscle fiber to continue to contract and work. Therefore, when a certain exercise intensity is reached, fat consumption will gradually decrease, sugar consumption will rapidly rise, glucose metabolism will produce lactic acid, and the accumulation of lactic acid will lead to the decrease of muscle cell alkalinity, which is the reason why high-intensity exercise is easy to fatigue. Therefore, anaerobic exercise is generally conducted between groups in an intermittent manner, which can restore physical strength to a certain extent. For example, normal strength training requires a lot of training. In this kind of exercise, there is no time for oxygen to reach the cells to participate in the role of burning heat during the whole short-term exercise. There is a time difference in the process of using oxygen, which determines that intense short-term exercise becomes anaerobic exercise.

Is Yoga an aerobic exercise

Yoga is an aerobic exercise. Because to maintain the yoga posture, you must strive to maintain the stability and balance of your body and support your weight. Because people’s bodies have been used to the old life rules and movements, many people will shake violently when they try various postures of yoga asana for the first time and stick to them. After mastering the secret of yoga, they will gradually enter a new state. At that time, practicing asana again was like sitting on a chair, stable, natural and comfortable.

Only through the correct methods can we ensure that the path of yoga practice is unimpeded, including the guidance of professional teachers. Even after years of in-depth practice, we should not be careless, because terrible injuries and delusions are unintentional.
