Anaerobic is without presence of oxygen. Anaerobic exercise is typically taken to refer to exercises that don't get you breathing hard such as lifting weights, strength training, sprinting, push ups and pull ups. Anaerobics are short quick exercises over a short period of time.

(Whereas, 'aerobic' exercise is exercise with oxygen. It's typically taken to refer to brisk walking, jogging, running, cross-country skiing, etc. In other words, exercises that get you breathing hard).
