Why are muscles so important?

Muscles are very important as it relates to the movement of the human body. Muscles move joints, to which they are joined. Muscles are made of lots of muscle fibers which are held together in bundles. The muscle fibers are activated by the brain sending electrical impulses to each fiber via the nerves. These impulses allow your muscles to contract and move. Muscles are capable of both power and endurance. Muscular endurance is very important because it allows the muscle to work at a lower level for long periods of time. Just imagine if the muscles used to maintain your posture were weak and didn't have enough endurance for you to endure a specific posture for more than one or two minutes? That wouldn't be good. Whenever one may be sick and  in bed for a few days or a week,  muscles may feel a bit weak due to inactivity, but gradully with movement of the inactive muscles, those muscles may quickly be able to regain their strength and endurance. Muscles also provide the body with the majority of its energy, so it is important to have strong muscles so that you can get through the day. Musclular endurance is important because just about every movement we do, requires the help of a muscle and if the muscles are weak, you won't be able to move for long.

Muscular power just allows for you to know the heaviest weight you can lift one time. When trying to figure out how to exercise the muscles, try to get an understanding of your goals as it relates to building your muscular endurance and your musclular power, because they are not the same. Remember to stay hydrated daily,1005565 that is important for proper muscle maintenance as well. Movement is an essential part of life, and without muscles, movement is limited.

Also, its better to have muscle than fat. Check this out, the body fat percentage of a healthy woman should be between 21-24%,  and for a healthy man 14-17%. Knowing that we should aim to keep ourselve moving to help keep our muscles strong and mobile, and keep ourselves hydrated with lots of water to keep our body functioning properly. Always remember to smile.

Be well :)
