Weight training is an anaerobic exercise that does not use oxygen from your respiratory system because it works on muscular strength, not cardiorespiratory endurance.

Weight training improves muscular strength more than cardiorespiratory fitness because it is a more specific form of exercise that targets the muscles. Cardiorespiratory fitness is a more general form of exercise that benefits the whole body.
