The human body turns the fuel ( macro and micro nutrients) we consume into energy and its now known that the body has three distinct engines that do this work. This video introduces you to these systems and explains the differences between each.
| Engines | Info | Info 2 |
| ATP - PC | ATP is the body's energy currency. Suitable for very short intense exercise | Energy lasts 10 seconds |
| Anaerobic Glycolysis | Energy held a bit longer | Energy lasts 90 seconds |
| Areobic Metabolism | Not as quick to deliver but 20 times more efficient at producing energy | Energy lasts 3-4 hours |
| Areobic Metabolism | Uses Fat + Protein + Carbohydrates | Only occurs in the presence of oxygen |
