Mitochondria, miniscule components of your muscle cells, help your body turn nutrients and oxygen into energy. Every time you contract your muscles during a workout, you produce energy. Being an inefficient machine, your body loses about 75 percent of that energy in the form of heat. Heat from the muscles then moves to the blood, which circulates throughout your body, making your temperature rise.
