When you are anemic, you have a low number of red blood cells in your blood. This means that your body can't transport as much oxygen as it normally could. When exercising, the lungs will try to compensate the lack of oxygen by expanding and collapsing more often. The heart will beat faster to keep the oxygen-rich blood flowing.
