Your body puts you in a fight or flight mode due to the stress. In this case, your body secretes glucose from the storage areas of your body into the blood so to provide energy to muscles.

After a workout, how did you feel?
Close your eyes and take long
breaths. Do it for a good five to ten minutes a day. You will be amazed how you
feel afterwards.
