Aerobic: Literally, "with oxygen." Aerobic exercise is the body's process of producing energy with
oxygen in the bloodstream. By products are carbon dioxide and water (breathing and perspiration).
It's great for burning fat and strengthening your heart and lungs.
Anaerobic: Literally, "without oxygen." In anaerobic exercise, energy is produced without oxygen,
usually because the exercise intensity is such that the heart and lungs can't get enough oxygen to the
muscles. Anaerobic exercise creates a byproduct called lactate, which builds up in the muscles and
causes soreness and fatigue.
Barbell: Weights attached to a long bar which requires both hands to pick up.
Cheating: Using additional muscles to help you lift. Usually improper form and back muscles are
used during the lift.
Dumbbell: Short barbell hand weights that can either be fixed or adjustable.
Duration: The number of sets or number of exercises, specifically for each muscle group (Duration
may also include number of repetitions)
Frequency: The number of workouts per week or number times a muscle group is trained per week.
Intensity: The amount of weight used, percentage of the one repetition maximum, or the effort used
during the exercise
Repetition: A single movement, as in doing one squat. This is going down and then going back up.
For toning, strength, and endurance do more reps at a lower weight.
Set: A number of repetitions of a movement, such as an arm curl or a squat. A set may have 8 reps,
for example.
