Non aerobic exercise is exercise that is short in duration and does not require oxygen to be accomplished. Examples of non-aerobic exercise include weight lifting, running 100 meters, or climbing a flight of stairs. Non aerobic exercise is typically less than 60 seconds in duration, as opposed to aerobic exercise which is 60 seconds or longer in duration like jogging 5 miles or going for a hike.
