Similar to how a carâs engine remains warm after being turned off, once a workout is over and youâre back in your daily routine, your bodyâs metabolism can continue to burn more calories then when at complete rest. This physiological effect is called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, or EPOC. Also known as oxygen debt, EPOC is the amount of oxygen required to restore your body to its normal, resting level of metabolic function (called homeostasis). It also explains how your body can continue to burn calories long after youâve finished your workout.
The Battle of Palmito Ranch, also known as the Battle of Palmito Hill, has been claimed by some as the final battle of the American Civil War. It was fought May 12 and 13, 1865, on the banks of the Rio Grande east of Brownsville, Texas and a few miles from the seaport of Los Brazos de Santiago, more than a month after Robert E. Lee had surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.
The Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point of the American Civil War. It was fought over three days-July 1-3, 1863-in Pennsylvania. It was the bloodiest battle of the war and ended in a Union victory. One of the two major battles of the American Civil War was fought at the crossroads town of Gettysburg, Pa., from July 1 to 3, 1863. The defeat of the Southern forces at Gettysburg and their surrender of Vicksburg the next day foreshadowed Gen. Robert E. Leeâs eventual surrender at Appomattox Court House.
