While 'anaerobic' exercise - exercise that concentrates on intense activity over shorter periods - is specifically good for building power and muscle mass, aerobic forms of exercise - such as walking, hiking, swimming, riding a bicycle, or (unsurprisingly) 'aerobics' are good for building endurance, general tone, and cardio-vascular fitness without building a great deal of muscle bulk.

What does aerobic exercise do to your muscles?

Aerobic exercise means your muscles are getting exercised at a rate where the muscles are not being depleted of oxygen faster than the blood, from the heart and lungs, can supply it. This allows the muscles to work at maximum efficiency. Aerobic exercise will not reduce the strength, size or endurance of muscles, but it will not help increase them. To work on increasing those, exercise needs to be anaerobic/resistive: high load for short periods. It is best to combine resistive and aerobic exercise to achieve all round strength and fitness.

How do you gain strength without gaining big muscles?

Well, there is a balance between strength and muscle size. If you want to get really strong, you'll have to accept having really big muscles. But if you just want to get stronger, then the key is to exercise on a sensible level. If you keep the weights so that you can do 3 sets of 10 repetitions, or even 4 sets of 10 reps, muscle growth won't be that much.


What happened if you had a big butt but once you became pregnant it went flat and six years later it has not come back?

You have not been exercising those muscles. Try doing leg lifts on your tummy. Skier's squats will also exercise the large muscles in your butt. Get off the chair and walk! Those muscles respond well to exercise, and your butt will come back.
