Answer:

During aerobic exercises your body is producing energy with oxygen, this type of exercise lasts longer than 2 minutes with continuous movement. Anaerobic means 'without air' and refers to not using oxygen for energy. Instead the body uses the energy stored in the muscles. Anaerobic training is more useful for increasing muscle mass and strength; aerobic training is more useful for building endurance.
