Can you define anaerobic vs. aerobic? My goals are basically to stay in shape, cut, and have enough wind to box, run and play basketball.

and LOL @ Bourdain takin' a shot from Cotto.. I love that show.

Basically short burst of high intensity exercise such as sprinting would fall under anaerobic and lower intensity exercise such distance running would fall under aerobic and something in between such as 400-800 M intervals targets both systems. Each has their own benefits and to maximize performance it's a good idea to target both but again it depends on your goals to determine what you would want to focus on more.

Here's some more technical details from wikipedia describing the difference between the two:

Anaerobic exercise is exercise intense enough to trigger anaerobic metabolism. It is used by athletes in non-endurance sports to build power and by body builders to build muscle mass. Muscles trained under anaerobic conditions develop differently, leading to greater performance in short duration, high intensity activities, which last up to about 2 minutes.[1]

Aerobic exercise, on the other hand, includes lower intensity activities performed for longer periods of time. Such activities like walking, running, swimming, and cycling require a great deal of oxygen to generate the energy needed for prolonged exercise.

There are two types of anaerobic energy systems, the ATP-CP energy system, which uses creatine phosphate as the main energy source, and the lactic acid (or anaerobic glycolysis) system that uses glucose (or glycogen) in the absence of oxygen. Events or activity that last up to about thirty seconds rely primarily on the former, phosphagen, system. Beyond this time aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis begin to predominate. Anaerobic glycolysis uses glucose inefficiently, and produces by-products such as lactic acid that are thought to be detrimental to muscle function; this limits activity based predominantly on anaerobic glycolysis to about 2 minutes. The effectiveness of anaerobic activity can be improved through training.[2] [1]

i am 5/11 200 pds, i bench 275 and can curl 160 ,330 on the chest press,and usually 500 situps 200 pushups a day

You're an animal.

Fascinating...thanks.

i Started out struggling benching 150 and i could barely curl 60 ,just hard work ,every other week add more weight, until you reach your desired goal,stetching is also really important so you can maximize your workout sessions

Thats cool. My routine is more geared to stay lean and cut. I once got into lifting heavier weights but I got a bit too bulky and didnt like it so now I focus mainly on calisthenics and some lighter weights with high reps.

No problem. One correction...800 M intervals would probably fall more under aerobic but 400 M intervals would fall more toward the middle.
