The energy that moves your arms and legs is primarily derived from the conversion of chemical energy stored in the food you consume into mechanical energy. This process occurs through cellular respiration, where your body breaks down glucose and other molecules to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP serves as the primary energy currency in cells, and it powers various cellular activities, including muscle contractions that move your arms and legs.
