Hello Dr Ekberg, thank you so much for all the information you provide! I was wondering if you could make a video on your exercise recommendations for someone with adrenal fatigue?
You started explaining the relationship with cholesterol but then you stopped and went back to talking about cortisol. Can you explain the relationship between aerobic / anaerobic and cholesterol? Thanks.
There is a lot of confusion about what aerobic and anaerobic exercise is. If you do a google search you will see most people think aerobic exercise is a high intensity aerobic class and anaerobic is lifting weights. That is why I made this video to clear up the difference and to help you reach your health goal.
Thank you very much. Stil a doubt remains. What kind of lifting is aerobic? Is it light weight or body weight with more than 20 rep max? How to do hiit for every muscle? Usually, weight traing is done with 10 to 12 reps in about 30 secs. with a rest of 60 secs. Is it not hiit if limited to 8 sets?
I started three days ago. After the three days, here is my problem/question: **What is my best heart rate to exercise to maximize fat burning? After calculating (see below), staying at 70% (117) is extremely hard to keep unless I walk as slowly as a snail. :c) Biking is out of the question. I can walk normally or briskly at a 135 - 145 heart rate. 135 - 145, I can carry on a conversation and feel no pain. I can do this for hours. But it is outside of my fat-burning zone. My resting heart rate is 82 or less. So, what is my best target heart rate for burning fat? Do I stay at 117 as the target? Or is it better to go to the higher number, 132? Or somewhere in between? My info: Age: 58 Height: 237 lbs Weight: 6'2" Bio: Former Division I football player (i.e., my workout experience) I used three formulas to estimate my max heart rate. My Maximum Heart Rate is calculated below (based on three different formulas): My Maximum Heart Rate Average of all three formulas below: 167.43 (Formula 1: 162, Formula 2: 166.4, Formula 3: 173.88). 70%: 117.20 Average (Formula 1: 113.40, Formula 2: 116.48, Formula 3: 121.72) 80%: 133.94 Average (Formula 1: 129.60, Formula 2: 133.12, Formula 3: 139.10) 90%: 150.68 Average (Formula 1: 145.80, Formula 2: 149.76, Formula 3: 156.49) Maximum heart rate formulas I used: Formula 1: [ 220 - Age ] - most common and widely used maximum heart rate formula Formula 2: * [ 207 - 0.7 x Age ] - more precise formula, adjusted for people over the age of 40 Formula 3: * [ 211 - 0.64 x Age ] - slightly more precise formula, adjusted for generally active people Thanks again! -Scott
Thank you! I’m an obese person who has been working out for 6 months, I recently picked up the pace by running (on the elliptical mostly), and my heart rate goes up to 188-it takes a while for it to return to normal. I appreciated this lesson as both a newbie “athlete” and biology teacher, and this helped tremendously. This will help my explanations of glycolysis, anaerobic and aerobic respiration, and provide students with a real world explanations. I’ve been spending too much time in the elliptical (15min/1mile), and it’s hard on my heart rate and blood sugar levels. Now, I know why. Thanks!
Thank you Keesha Lewis. That is really cool thank you for sharing. Feel free to share my channel with your students there are probably a lot of videos that would relate to them. If you want me to explain something else fell free to ask.
You should definitely not be running if you're obese. That extra weight is a huge stress on your joints and ligaments and even on your heart. Walking is a way better option. You can raise intensity by adding incline. But walking is enough till you start seeing a resonable body weight. Amd obviously you need to fix your diet else it's mostly useless.
I watch as many of your videos as time permits. It's been life changing. Your like the father I never had teaching me how to lead a happy life free from suffering. Your a modern day Buddha. Thanks.
I recently read about this - a long distance runner took to exercising in zone 2 and was able to get fitter within this zone and avoid injury - but when it came To running as his capacity was there - he was fitter in the anaerobic zone. Makes sense
it's true, when I ride a bike with a lot of intensity after exercise I feel anxious and less resistant to stress after carrying weights I don't feel such negative effects I will add that I have a stressful period in my life, I always wondered why I feel bad after exercise since they write everywhere that sport is just health.Thank you Dr. Sten for clarifying and truth in a world full of misinformation
Thank you Spirit Rider. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
so running when you are already panting and feeling like you want to stop, your body is doing anaerobic activity already! now i get it, thanks Dr Sten!
I am a 44 year old man and run 5km in 23 minutes. At times my heart rate exceeds 180 bpm almost at the end of my journey during the last km. I try to bring it down within a 170 range by adjusting my running pace. I hope I am not putting strain on my heart by following this practice. So far I haven't felt any adverse effects
Dr. I have learned that people with cfs/me have impaired aerobic metabolism and in aerobic mode make CO2 which combined with water makes carbonic acid. A very toxic acid some believe responsible for PEM and very hard for the body to clear. Very brief, intense activity, anaerobic, yeilds lactic acid, does not lead to PEM and is much easier to clear. Please do a video about this. I love how clearly you explain things.
thank you so much for this video! I am in a professional trainer course and struggling with trying to understand aerobic vs anaerobic and this helped me understand!
Thank you kaylee vazquez. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
Depends what people do in the gym, lifting weights? then they rest between most sets giving them time to recover and also helps improve lactic thresh hold, which goes on to help aerobic fitness,
Thank you Dr. Do you have a podcast channel ? You went straight to the point. And saved so much of my time. Many people talk way too much before they even get on with it. You're amazing.
Dear Dr Ekberg, Thank you so much for all your video's. You have help me so much with Keto and intermittent fasting. I have a very stressful live. Every time I do running for about 3 km with slow heart beat about 130 bpm I get so sleepy next day. I can sleep whole day. Now I know why. I'll try walking or cycling on about 110 bpm O my age is 53. But does this mean I can't run long distance anymore?
Many thanks for your excellent presentation, with its clear and slow articulation of the words, with good flexilibty in volume and pitch, which keeps us viewers and listeners connected. PS. There is an error in the written commentary at 6m 13 secs where your spoken words "... you do not want to do long anaerobic exercise ... " have been written as "...you do not want to do prolonged and aerobic exercise" ...
Game changing for me, nothing (interval training, cycling, weights) was working for my weight loss until I started walking. Lost almost 7 kilos in about 3 weeks with about 6K steps everyday (about 50 minutes daily morning walk)!! Thank you so much Dr Ekberg
this is very interesting . I never go for walks it's always cycling / running lifting with super sets. I'm going to possibly start walking on my lunches or at night before sleep
I really enjoy your videos, I am 60 years old and a bicycle racer, I train 250 miles a week at a fairly high level, on my easier days I do one meal a day, I am a harder days since I need sugar, I start off my ride fasted If there are taking Sugar as needed, what I would like to know is where is your advice for athletes that are trying to lower their body fat percentage.
I am 39, good fitness and strong. We do Hit training in our trainigscenter for 15 to 30 min straight, without a break. So a least 140bpm plus. You think thats to hard? I als work whole day long on ny vegetables fields, and weekend on the mountains. I do 16/8 fastening most of the time. One Big meal a day, and a small one. Will i die because if fatigue?
Thx for explaining the diff...I run a lot and breathe through my nose mostly so must be doing aerobic. I like to see a video on the value of strength training via cardio training since especially since strength training improves bone density..I just don't do much of it except for push ups and pull ups
As a medical doctor i relate aerobics as complete metabolism of glucose (to pyruvate) into Krebs cycle that requires oxygen (air), whereas in anaerobic activity the pyruvate from glucose is converted to lactate as relative lack of oxygen from intense activity inhibits it from bring metabolised in the Krebs cycle. Later at rest the lactate is reconverted to pyruvate in the liver (Cori's cycle). Glucose comes from all carbs and we can also make it as well (gluconeogenesis) from fats or proteins. In most activities these two methods of glucose metabolism occur in various ratios but one type predominates to make it either way. It all depends how much oxygen is delivered to the cell, less would result in anaerobic metabolism of glucose, adequate would lead to aerobic metabolism.
Thank you so much Doctor. You have been explaining the actions backed up with numbers and stats which has helped me a lot in my journey to weight loss.
But if you are on a Ketogenic Diet, and supposedly in Ketosis of course, when you do High Intensity Exercise, and raise the blood sugar levels, wouldn't that mean that you are kicking yourself OUT of Ketosis?
I understand that anaerobic exercise stresses the body however I have noticed that whenever I am stressed, the only way of getting rid of it is with anaerobic exercise. Nothing else works. For stress I had tried yoga, pilates, weight training etc. Doesnt work. But if i do about 15-30 minutes exercise which involves some huffing and puffing, that works, and it is like a mental reset for me. It gives a natural high. Now I am a bit confused... And with the cortisol insulin connection, it makes sense that i cant lose those few pounds. But for my mental health, anaerobic is the cure. Any thoughts?
Sugar is available in two ways after aenarobic exercise. 1. Immediately after this exercise we generally take carbs, 2. Gucose is produced in our body through gluconeogenesis after depletion of glycogine due to exercise.
i have a Question: can our body perform at his best in anaerobic exercise if we’re on a ketogenic diet?? cause about aerobic exercise beta oxidation of fatty acid and Kreb cycle and electron transport chain is clear enough to undestand how atp is produced. What i do not understand is how can we produce atp from fatty acid without oxigen (so in an anaerobic kind of workout)??
Yeah you can feel anaerobic exercise noticeably when in ketosis with a multiday fast as heartrate noticeable shift from relatively low heartrate to the heart pumping harder to supply energy when exerting. Normally when carb loaded you will feel lactic acid build-up in muscles before feeling the heart.
Do you know if Dr. Ekberg has done a video on this? I'm curious how anaerobic exercise affects those on keto. Does the body just keep using fat? Or is there some conversion to glucose that the body relies on during this time?
Hi Doctor, you mentioned how anaerobic uses glucose for fuel instead of oxygen and fat like in aerobic training. But what if your doing anaerobic without carbs (absence of glucose) where is the energy coming from? Muscle breakdown?
Maybe I am just lucky because ..... when I push to Anaerobic levels (let alone HIIT) I start to feel very quickly dizzy and sick and I get lactic acid accumulation problems which stick around for at least 24 hours . Hence, I don’t and it feels great for body and mind and I enjoy exercising every day !
I am 70 and I know what that means on my health. Even though I am pretty healthy all my whole life, never take any prescriptions yet but the aging is not to ignore. I exercise daily, long brisk walk, swimming, weight bearing and resistant training. I even hike on weekends on moderate trails but I listen to my body. Sometimes I overdo (forgetting my 70) and pay a little price, not seriously but should be avoided. I would not do anaerobic.
Sir,I am a man,64years of age,no medical condition.I exercise regularly.Owing to covid-19,I stopped going to gym.I exercise at home-pushups, bodyweight squats and 2*7.5 kg dumbbells.Please suggest me anaerobic exercise with pushups,bw squats.Namaste.
Have any opinion on air glider? My ankles are weak, I’m working on that and I can’t run. I would rather swim but I do not have that option to stay at a non impact type of exercise. Seems like it should be a good aerobic exercise
During rollerblading my heart rate can go up to 180bpm, but yet, I'm not panting and can still talk. I do feel depleted after a while. Any idea how the high heart rate and not-panting can go together?
Good video again. If you're training for a 5 day desert motorcycle endurance rally, what do you recommend? Combination of anaerobic and HIIT? Any %? Your body needs to be able to take a severe pounding for 5-6 hours per day
how would you rate cycling in hills? I went for a 2 and a half hour cycle today, general incline but maybe a 20 min section of anaerobic work at the steepest point. for the usual 50 plus cyclist who might get a longer weekend cycle in, is an hour or more of anaerobic activity diminishing returns?
Very informative video!! Really learning a lot thanks! How about boxing and pilates/bodyweight exercises? What is the effect on the body? Also, what will happen if I'm on keto diet and doing anaerobic exercises? Thanks in advance. Hope you can make a video about "Exercising on Keto" :)
You can't really do boxing on keto. You need carbs for those explosive moves. Body can't recover fast enough. Body weight exercises could be ok, but forget having the best sessions vs when you had carbs. You could calculate how much carbs you need, have that during the training, and leave your body depleted of carbs at the end of the training, and still in ketosis. The 21g carb limit for staying in ketosis can easily be pushed. I could eat almost double that and the pee sticks still showed I was in ketosis.
If I continue with aerobic then won't my body fade away? Like for cycling i try to maintain as much hiit as possible. For 2 hour cycling that is typically only about 5 minutes or less. And chart shows nearly half time as anaerobic and rest as aerobic. Yes, I find I cannot do this everyday. Typically i rest for 2 days or more. On rest days I try to do strength that is mostly pushups of about 100 in max 5 sets and 30 squats in 1 set. I find that my fat reduces only if I do strength that lasts about 1 hour Max with good enough rests in between sets. Despite hour plus aerobic on cycle I don't loose any fats and in fact I tend to believe that aerobic tends to lower metabolic rate. Now I have reduced cycling to half hour and try to eliminate aerobic part of it altogether. Though it is still about 5% of total time. If I reduce cycling to 20 minutes then I am able to totally eliminate aerobic part of it. I am 1974 born
Thank u so much for this. I have been dancing for more than two years and trying really hard to maintain my body weight.( doing IF: 16/8and calorie control) but I just couldn’t figure out why I am losing my muscle. I usually dance for about an hour and it made me huff and puff. Does it mean that I switched from aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise?
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for another great video, I just recently found them (thanks TH-cam AI) and I have already watched dozens. I don't know I you have the time to answer to the comments on the old videos, but anyone else can contribute, too. I'm on OMAD keto but I'm also a tennis player. Do I absolutely need to take additional carbohydrates (for health/performance) or can I go on with my fat reserves? I played a set today, I was quite tired afterwards but i'm also out of shape so I can't tell the exact reason. Anyway, I didn't faint (and I even won the set) so I would like to know if I need to adjust my meals on the days I play tennis (anaerobic) of if I can go on normally? I don't mind a temporary performance loss, if my body needs more time to adjust, but I really would not want to go out of ketosis.

Stil a doubt remains.

How to do hiit for every muscle?
Usually, weight traing is done with 10 to 12 reps in about 30 secs. with a rest of 60 secs. Is it not hiit if limited to 8 sets?
You say that aerobic exercise is around 120bpm. Isn’t it instead on a case by case basis?
I started three days ago. After the three days, here is my problem/question: **What is my best heart rate to exercise to maximize fat burning? After calculating (see below), staying at 70% (117) is extremely hard to keep unless I walk as slowly as a snail. :c) Biking is out of the question.

My info: Age: 58
Height: 237 lbs
Weight: 6'2"
Bio: Former Division I football player (i.e., my workout experience)
I used three formulas to estimate my max heart rate. My Maximum Heart Rate is calculated below (based on three different formulas):
My Maximum Heart Rate Average of all three formulas below: 167.43
(Formula 1: 162, Formula 2: 166.4, Formula 3: 173.88).
70%: 117.20 Average (Formula 1: 113.40, Formula 2: 116.48, Formula 3: 121.72)
80%: 133.94 Average (Formula 1: 129.60, Formula 2: 133.12, Formula 3: 139.10)
90%: 150.68 Average (Formula 1: 145.80, Formula 2: 149.76, Formula 3: 156.49)
Maximum heart rate formulas I used:
Formula 1: [ 220 - Age ] - most common and widely used maximum heart rate formula
Formula 2: * [ 207 - 0.7 x Age ] - more precise formula, adjusted for people over the age of 40
Formula 3: * [ 211 - 0.64 x Age ] - slightly more precise formula, adjusted for generally active people
Thanks again! -Scott
[ 220 - age ] × 0.6 = BurningFat HeartRate
Add 5 or take 5 from that number to get your burning fat range.

I am a kinesiology major and I am trying to improve my health.
This video EXPLAINED BEAUTIFULLY!
Thank you taopanda98.
I'm so glad I exercised with a HR monitor about ~30 yrs ago and understand the heart is how you measure workload on the body...
Exactly what I needed to hear! Getting stressed and the 'light headed'!
Thank you Spirit Rider. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
What are your favorite exercises?
Weight lifting, but you did not talk about in the video or did I missed it? Can you make a video on it?
I will make a video on it. Thank you for requesting it.
any kind of high intensity workout i like to put my body under pressure
Mountain biking
Walking, low impact weights
so running when you are already panting and feeling like you want to stop, your body is doing anaerobic activity already! now i get it, thanks Dr Sten!

Excellent explanation. Thanks Doc!
i stick with aerobic. :) jog/run 5 miles. Dr. Ekberg is FIT!

Thank you for letting us know you liked it. A lot of people still believe in no pain no gain and end up stressing their body more.
Yeah - apparently if it rhymes it must be true!!
You found the secret to the universe!
:D
Thanks for information now it's clear how to excerise for good health
Really appreciate you!!😊
Video fantástico, gracias por una explicación tan simple e interesante!
My anaerobic threshold is 78bpm. That’s about half what it should be for a person my age. Good video. Thank you.🌻

I think that your presentation style is perfect.
Thank you so much Doctor. You have been explaining the actions backed up with numbers and stats which has helped me a lot in my journey to weight loss.
Love your vids. Showed me what I am doing wrong at the gym. Thank you!
I HAVE WATCHED THIS CHANNEL VIDEOS, AWESOME EXPLANATION EVER👌👌👍

Sugar is available in two ways after aenarobic exercise. 1. Immediately after this exercise we generally take carbs,
2. Gucose is produced in our body through gluconeogenesis after depletion of glycogine due to exercise.
@@R.R.Brahma Thanks for your answer, so to prevent gluconeogenesis to be happens, we have to keep heat beat at 120? (I’m 40 yo)
You deserve 10 million subscribers I'm not exaggerating
Thanks for explaining this in a clear way. Looks like there is great misunderstanding on this subject.
Great information dr. Ekberg! Had to subscribe :)
Thank you. We will keep it coming.
What to do to get muscle on keto and IF. .please inform
Thank you for explaining in layman terms.
i have a Question:
can our body perform at his best in anaerobic exercise if we’re on a ketogenic diet??
cause about aerobic exercise beta oxidation of fatty acid and Kreb cycle and electron transport chain is clear enough to undestand how atp is produced. What i do not understand is how can we produce atp from fatty acid without oxigen (so in an anaerobic kind of workout)??
You need to incorporate both for complete fitness it’s not one or the other they both have there benefits
Yeah you can feel anaerobic exercise noticeably when in ketosis with a multiday fast as heartrate noticeable shift from relatively low heartrate to the heart pumping harder to supply energy when exerting. Normally when carb loaded you will feel lactic acid build-up in muscles before feeling the heart.
Do you know if Dr. Ekberg has done a video on this? I'm curious how anaerobic exercise affects those on keto. Does the body just keep using fat? Or is there some conversion to glucose that the body relies on during this time?
Yes I thought anaerobic was low stress exercises! I took aerobics years ago and it was highly intense.
Thanks Dr. for this useful explanation
Good information thanks
Hi Doctor, you mentioned how anaerobic uses glucose for fuel instead of oxygen and fat like in aerobic training. But what if your doing anaerobic without carbs (absence of glucose) where is the energy coming from? Muscle breakdown?
@Dr. Sten Ekberg: "Cortisol" was mistakenly spelled as "Cholesterol" at 2:11
Well explained. Thanks!
Thank you Joanne Esposito.
Maybe I am just lucky because ..... when I push to Anaerobic levels (let alone HIIT) I start to feel very quickly dizzy and sick and I get lactic acid accumulation problems which stick around for at least 24 hours . Hence, I don’t and it feels great for body and mind and I enjoy exercising every day !
Which is best for diabetics ?
Great job Dr. THis was very helpful!
Dr. Ekberg can you please do a video on TESTOSTERONE and testosterone replacement specifically testosterone pellets. Thank you
So simple thank you
Thanks for this great info, never knew that.
great! thanks
Hi, what about biking? I'm so fatigue, it's not easy anymore to walk everyday because of the stress, i have to take it slow
Thank you
Thanks
I am 70 and I know what that means on my health. Even though I am pretty healthy all my whole life, never take any prescriptions yet but the aging is not to ignore. I exercise daily, long brisk walk, swimming, weight bearing and resistant training. I even hike on weekends on moderate trails but I listen to my body. Sometimes I overdo (forgetting my 70) and pay a little price, not seriously but should be avoided. I would not do anaerobic.
super helpful thanks!
I learned something new, again!
I have meniere's disease and dont do any exercise. Would getting a stationary bike good for me to exercise?
thanks amazin and reasonable explanation
Thank you O K. Feel free to ask any health questions, and I will do my best to answer them.
Best explanation. I personally got a lots of thing, Thank you very much.
Thank you EHSANULLAH RAHIM GORAGANI. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
Sir,I am a man,64years of age,no medical condition.I exercise regularly.Owing to covid-19,I stopped going to gym.I exercise at home-pushups, bodyweight squats and 2*7.5 kg dumbbells.Please suggest me anaerobic exercise with pushups,bw squats.Namaste.
What about the competitive long distance cyclist, runners and swimmers? Aren't they both aerobic and anaerobic?
what if we walk after a meal?do we still lose fat or because of the elevated insulin we burn glucose and it.s better to walk during fasting?
Thank you for this info. May God bless you.
Thank you Moldova Creștină TV.
So how would you define a 20 rep squat?
Have any opinion on air glider? My ankles are weak, I’m working on that and I can’t run. I would rather swim but I do not have that option to stay at a non impact type of exercise. Seems like it should be a good aerobic exercise
awesome explanation thanks
Glad you liked it. Thank you gambart2002 for letting me know.
So running is anaerobic?
which better running or jumprope?
During rollerblading my heart rate can go up to 180bpm, but yet, I'm not panting and can still talk. I do feel depleted after a while. Any idea how the high heart rate and not-panting can go together?
Thanks
Thank you Nawar Alhamzah for letting me know you liked it.
Good video again. If you're training for a 5 day desert motorcycle endurance rally, what do you recommend? Combination of anaerobic and HIIT? Any %? Your body needs to be able to take a severe pounding for 5-6 hours per day
how would you rate cycling in hills? I went for a 2 and a half hour cycle today, general incline but maybe a 20 min section of anaerobic work at the steepest point. for the usual 50 plus cyclist who might get a longer weekend cycle in, is an hour or more of anaerobic activity diminishing returns?
How to breathe while doing anaerobic exercises?
Very informative video!! Really learning a lot thanks! How about boxing and pilates/bodyweight exercises? What is the effect on the body?
Also, what will happen if I'm on keto diet and doing anaerobic exercises? Thanks in advance. Hope you can make a video about "Exercising on Keto" :)
You can't really do boxing on keto. You need carbs for those explosive moves. Body can't recover fast enough. Body weight exercises could be ok, but forget having the best sessions vs when you had carbs. You could calculate how much carbs you need, have that during the training, and leave your body depleted of carbs at the end of the training, and still in ketosis. The 21g carb limit for staying in ketosis can easily be pushed. I could eat almost double that and the pee sticks still showed I was in ketosis.
If I continue with aerobic then won't my body fade away?
Like for cycling i try to maintain as much hiit as possible. For 2 hour cycling that is typically only about 5 minutes or less. And chart shows nearly half time as anaerobic and rest as aerobic.
Yes, I find I cannot do this everyday. Typically i rest for 2 days or more.
On rest days I try to do strength that is mostly pushups of about 100 in max 5 sets and 30 squats in 1 set.
I find that my fat reduces only if I do strength that lasts about 1 hour Max with good enough rests in between sets.
Despite hour plus aerobic on cycle I don't loose any fats and in fact I tend to believe that aerobic tends to lower metabolic rate. Now I have reduced cycling to half hour and try to eliminate aerobic part of it altogether. Though it is still about 5% of total time. If I reduce cycling to 20 minutes then I am able to totally eliminate aerobic part of it.

Thank u so much for this. I have been dancing for more than two years and trying really hard to maintain my body weight.( doing IF: 16/8and calorie control) but I just couldn’t figure out why I am losing my muscle. I usually dance for about an hour and it made me huff and puff. Does it mean that I switched from aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise?

Thank you O K.
Dr. Ekberg, thank you for another great video, I just recently found them (thanks TH-cam AI) and I have already watched dozens. I don't know I you have the time to answer to the comments on the old videos, but anyone else can contribute, too. I'm on OMAD keto but I'm also a tennis player. Do I absolutely need to take additional carbohydrates (for health/performance) or can I go on with my fat reserves? I played a set today, I was quite tired afterwards but i'm also out of shape so I can't tell the exact reason. Anyway, I didn't faint (and I even won the set) so I would like to know if I need to adjust my meals on the days I play tennis (anaerobic) of if I can go on normally? I don't mind a temporary performance loss, if my body needs more time to adjust, but I really would not want to go out of ketosis.
