Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise: Which will give me the body I want?

Aerobic exercise is very catabolic (muscle tissue breakdown).  Anaerobic exercise is anabolic (when used correctly).  It is just that simple.  Look at the two gentlemen above and ask yourself which person exudes health and which looks like they are about to fall apart and break.  This is the main reason we don't have treadmills and bikes in the studio.  "But, what about my heart health"?  Have you ever sprinted? what does your heart feel like at the end of that 100 yard sprint?  It's usually beating out of your chest, but you don't notice until you are finished running.  As an exercise physiologist, I have demonstrated this point of aerobic benefit from anaerobic exercise is much higher of an effect then aerobic exercise used by itself.  The photo above demonstrates this perfectly.
