Anaerobic Exercise is a very important component of the the Fitness Quadrant. It provides the needed stimulus for healthy adaptation, and is important for healthy cell regeneration and preventing Sarcopenia including osteoporosis and other forms of lean loss. We strive to grow healthy muscle that speeds up metabolism and provide the framework to burn body fat, because fat is burned in the muscles.
Anaerobics is also looked at as Load Bearing exercise that, due to the amount of resistance and higher intensity involved, it can only be performed for a short amount of time before fatiguing or running out of fuel. The fuel for Anaerobics comes from glucose, either from blood glucose or from glucose stored in the muscles called glycogen. This type of exercise and due to the amount of energy it requires is always above the "Anaerobic threshold" with clearly separates it from Aerobic, or Cardiovascular exercise.
Each movement with continuous tension from one to another is termed a repetition, and generally when one can perform 12 or more repetitions with a given weight it is termed a "light" weight, 8 to 11 reps is a "medium weight, and 7 or less repetitions is "heavy". Proper use of intensification techniques can make light weights feel heavier, and the book The Fitness Quadrant goes into great detail to explain Anaerobics so it can be effectively understood and utilized.

A Few Exerpts from the book:

 

Anaerobic Fuel Sources:

The energy supply for Anaerobic exercise, which we obtain by eating Starchy and Fibrous Carbohydrates, is Glucose, which our muscles take in from the Glucose in our blood, and the Glycogen stored in the muscles.. This energy supply preferably comes from Starchy and Fibrous Carbs that we have eaten earlier. However, if someone doesn’t eat carbs that supply the Glucose then the body will create some by breaking down existing muscle proteins and convert them to Glucose.

The Value Of Anaerobics

Anaerobic exercise is perhaps the most important component in our plan for fitness. It can be looked at as high intensity load bearing exercise performed within a short time limit (compared to Aerobic training that is performed within a long time limit). It is based on the reality of the fact that we adapt to our environment, in this case of bearing the load. Anaerobic exercise also generally involves specific body part training, focusing on building intensity and energy in one body part only, and not taxing the entire body at once. The untrained body parts are basically at rest, with the built in "rest in between sets" is a powerful stress reducer. We train for health, energy, metabolism, balance and shape, generally using lighter weights and making them feel “heavy” with intensification techniques, which is safe and therapeutic, as opposed to the style of training that some of us have had when we were in the school systems training like an athlete, which can beat our bodies up for the sake of winning the sport. Younger people can handle much more of the old invasive style of exercise, but someone in their middle years could suffer greatly from that old style of training. Old-fashioned calisthenics and military style boot camp type training can put severe stress on our joints. Exercises like deep knee bends has for many people become “knee wrecker” exercises, and sit ups have become pot belly inducers by distending the abdomen. So, with that in mind, it is no wonder that many people say that they don’t like exercise.
