To the untrained ear, the terms “aerobic” and “anaerobic” sound like some fitness mumbo jumbo only an exercise physiologist needs to know. Actually, anyone who hits the pavement, pool, studio, or strength room—or wants to—should know. That’s because all types of workouts in the world fall under one of these umbrella terms or another.
