Second wind is like when you’re playing a game and your team is losing, but then all of a sudden everyone gets super energetic. Your body starts using more oxygen, which gives you more energy to keep going. At first, it feels hard because your body uses up quick energy, like snacks, but once it switches to slower energy, like meals, you feel like you have more power.
Examples
- When you're running around the block and feel like you want to stop, but then suddenly feel stronger.
- You start climbing stairs and get out of breath quickly, but halfway up, your legs get more energy.
- You're doing jumping jacks and feel tired at first, but after a few minutes, you can do them faster.
