Actually its the muscles. Our Muscles just burn energy and turn it into heat, for the soul purpose of keeping the body warm. When you move around, your muscles provide motion, which is also why when you engage in a physical activity your body temperature may increase.

On the additional note, your muscles consume energy just like all the other cells of your body. Glucose in the blood enters the cell, where it is prepared for consumption as it makes its way to the mitochondria. In the mitochondria, the glucose is used to make ATP, which is the source of energy used inside all human cells.

Have a nice day.

Friction is the word. Friction creates heat. Blood moves throughout the body... Movement creates friction, unless in the vaccum of space.
