A Soldier does as many pushups as possible during The Black Knight Challenge at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan. Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, also known as “afterburn,” occurs after strenuous exercise as a way to bring your body back to its normal metabolic rate. It takes time for your body to replenish the oxygen used up during exercise, and during this time you continue to burn calories as a result of your elevated metabolism. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
