When exercising, your body uses two main sources of fuel -- carbohydrates and fats. Carbs come from the carbs you eat, which travel around your blood as glucose, as well as carbs stored in your liver and muscles, known as glycogen. Fat comes from free fatty acids and triglycerides circulating in your bloodstream as well as from stored fat. How you eat and how you train can have a big impact on whether you're burning fat or glycogen when training.
