Anorexic's Advice

There are two types of exercise cardio (aerobic) and toning (anaerobic). For optimum health and weightloss it's good to do a mixture of both types. Cardio is any exercise which increases your heart rate and breathing rate (eg, jogging) - this burns calories and if it's done for over half an hour in one go you start to burn bodyfat too; it's also good for overall wellbeing and health, and is good for your heart. Toning is any exercise which builds muscle (eg, situps) - muscle makes you look better, speeds up your metabolism, and prevents dieting from burning your muscle for fuel.
