Following are few benefits of anaerobic exercises:
Speeds Up Metabolism :
You have the more muscle, the more calories those muscles will burn throughout the day. Those muscles by performing anaerobic exercises at least 2-4 times each week and you will get that metabolism revving!
Strengthens Bones :
Performing an anaerobic exercises, you will increase the density and weight of your bones more to compare any other type of exercises. Now osteoporosis is not being a concern for you. Take care of your body with the right anaerobic exercises can pay huge dividends for you and your body down the road.
Hardens Joints :
Hardens Joints is a very simple rule: build muscle to protect joints. An example of this build muscle is found when you do squats. It is an exercise that "hardens" the knee joint and this happens by building bigger ligaments and muscles. Through anaerobic exercise your joints are hardening, you are giving your body an edge against potential injuries.
Increases Your Energy :
In order to understand how anaerobic exercise can boost your energy levels, just remember this: muscles store glycogen (sugar) and this energy is called into action when you are performing physically challenging exercises (like anaerobic). When you perform your anaerobic exercises (physically challenging exercises) regularly, you increase muscle size and ultimately your ability to store energy. Building bigger muscles is the natural way to increase your energy and be healthy in the process.
Increases Sports Performance :
Suppose you are a tennis player. Chances are you are always looking for ways to improve your serve and play. Anaerobic exercises increases the strength of the muscle groups in your shoulder, for instance, can have a dramatic impact on your serve and hitting. The same is true for virtually all sports: anaerobic exercises help build muscles, so that will ultimately help improve your game.
Lowers Blood Sugar :
the primary destination for the sugar (glycogen) we consume is the muscle. For people already with an active lifestyle (and who perform anaerobic), this sugar is either burned immediately or simply stored for future use as fuel. If you are have a less-active lifestyle, then this sugar is turned to fat.

As you age, it's important to protect your bones, joints and muscles. Not only do they support your body and help you move, but keeping bones, joints and muscles healthy can help ensure that you're able to do your daily activities and be physically active. Research shows that doing aerobic, muscle-strengthening and bone-strengthening physical activity of at least a moderately-intense level can slow the loss of bone density that comes with age.
Hip fracture is a serious health condition that can have life-changing negative effects, especially if you're an older adult. But research shows that people who do 120 to 300 minutes of at least moderate-intensity
each week have a lower risk of hip fracture.
Regular physical activity helps with arthritis and other conditions affecting the joints. If you have arthritis, research shows that doing 130 to 150 (2 hours and 10 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of moderate-intensity, low-impact aerobic activity can not only improve your ability to manage pain and do everyday tasks, but it can also make your quality of life better.
Build strong, healthy muscles. Muscle-strengthening activities can help you increase or maintain your muscle mass and strength. Slowly increasing the amount of weight and number of repetitions you do will give you even more benefits, no matter your age.
