eli5 aerobic vs anaerobic

Question

If I do 10 ( max is 20) pushups are they aerobic or anaerobic?If running is aerobic then why does it produce a burning sensation?

In: 1

Answer 1

Aerobic means with oxygen and anaerobic means without oxygen. All the exercise you do starts out as aerobic, but once you lose your breath and start breathing a lot more heavily, that means you swapped over to anaerobic.
