The Law of Conservation of Energy is really important for what we do in the gym!
It basically means that energy can’t be created or destroyed. Instead, it changes from one form to another.
Let’s see how this works during our workouts:
Chemical Energy to Kinetic Energy: When we eat food, we store energy in our bodies. As we exercise, our bodies change this energy into movement energy that helps us move better.
Muscle Contraction: When you lift weights or run, your muscles use that energy to work. The more energy you use, the more you can lift or the faster you can run.
Heat Energy: Some of that energy turns into heat. This is why we sweat! Sweating helps our bodies cool down when we have too much energy.
So, every time you go to the gym, you’re using and changing energy!
