We use 200 muscles to take a single step forward.
Muscles are one of those things that most of us take completely for granted, but they are incredibly important for two key reasons:
• Muscles are the "engine" that your body uses to propel itself. Although they work differently than a car engine or an electric motor, muscles do the same thing -- they turn energy into motion.
• It would be impossible for you to do anything without your muscles. Absolutely everything that you conceive of with your brain is expressed as muscular motion.
