 Hey everybody, I'm Lance Coyke. Today I want to talk about blood glucose and how it doesn't really get impacted much by your workouts. So I look at workouts as weightlifting workouts because that's what I'm a little bit better at than cardio stuff and I find it more fun. So if I if I'm doing a really long bout of exercise like over an hour and a half then I will absolutely start to use some of my blood glucose. Okay, what I what happens is I run out of my stores of glucose in in glycogen form. I run out of that muscle glycogen that we talked about previously and I run out of liver glycogen, which is the the it's responsible for pushing glucose into the blood. Now as we as we move on we can kind of we can kind of think less about a really long-term you know bout of exercise and we can think more about a normal bout of exercise 30 45 60 minutes just maybe just a powerlifting workout or a weightlifting workout all of that energy is coming from muscle glycogen. I'm not you know the way that I burn energy is by continuing activity. It's not by just sitting there and you know resting for five minutes between bouts of one rep exercise So something like powerlifting doesn't burn a whole lot of calories. It's very intensive on the body but in different ways not in an energy energy demanding way So we have to think about it that way If I do a normal weight training workout and probably not diving into that blood glucose very much If I do a really long say longer than an hour and a half workout, then yeah, I will start to dive into that blood glucose I might start to feel some symptoms of hypoglycemia and that's when I might want to start supplementing with some sort of intra workout carbohydrate
