I was sitting on the couch covered in a blanket and the temperature was set at 65. I go for a 4 mile jog, come back inside, temperature is still 65 inside but I feel comfortable and warm. Why is this?
In: Biology
You are radiating more heat than you were before the run. One of the byproducts of energy being burned to fuel your muscles is a significant amount of heat. Your body is venting that heat by having your blood carry it to your skin, where is can leave the body. That’s why you feel warmer.
