    Lactic Acid is the byproduct of your body breaking down sugars, routines, and fats. When you are exercising and not enough oxygen is reaching your fossils, your body uses an alternative method to produce energy. The stress on the system comes from the amount of hydrogen ions present. When there are too many hydrogen ions, the environment becomes too acidic and the muscles do not work as well.
