I know this episode will be impactful; it's important to keep things fun, but also progressing.

This podcast is dedicated to educating you on the 3 energy systems in the body: the ATP-PC system, the Glycolytic system, and the Oxidative system, and most importantly, helping you understand them. Learning your body, becoming fascinated with its intricate workings, and applying it to your own training is when we begin to bridge the gap from "exercise is a dreaded chore, or punishment" to "training for purpose, and enjoyment." -The ATP-PC system can be remembered as the "Stored" or "Gain" system -The Glycolytic system is also referred to as the anaerobic system, and can be remembered as the "Unsustainable" or "Pain" system -The Oxidative system is also referred to as the aerobic system, and can be remembered as the "Sustain" or "Sustainable" system
