The 4 Energy Systems That Power Your Body

In this episode, we break down the four main energy systems your body uses to fuel movement — from a quick sprint to a long workout. Each system works differently and kicks in at different times depending on the intensity and duration of your activity.

You’ll learn:

  • What ATP is and why it’s your body’s immediate energy source ⚡
  • How creatine phosphate powers short, explosive movements đŸ’„
  • Why glycogen is your go-to for moderate activity 🏃
  • How fat fuels long-lasting endurance efforts 🔋
  • How these systems work together to keep you moving ✅

Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just curious about how your body works, this episode explains your energy sources in simple, science-backed terms.
