We all have them, we all use them, but what importance do muscles have on our body?
Muscles have so many benefits to our body and our health. Muscles help burn fat, burn calories, and give us strength and the ability to move efficiently. So the next time you try to get out of going to the gym, consider these facts and you might think twice before ditching.
#1 H20 my muscle: Your muscles are made up of 70% of water. So don’t forget to hydrate those fibers and nerves the next time you workout.
#2 The Scale Doesn’t Matter – Muscle tissue formulates 35-40 percent of your body weight, Which means muscle weighs more than fat. So next time you beat yourself up for gaining that weight take in to consideration you might be building muscle not fat!
#3 Gain Muscle Burn Calories: For every lb of muscle an individual has, your body burns 50 calories. So instead of focusing on eating 100 calorie packs, focus on building more muscle and you will have many positive results!
#4 Don’t Skip a Step – A single step uses almost 200 different types of muscles, so you can see the importance of building and maintaining your muscle mass!
#5 The Strongest vs The hardest Muscle: The strongest muscle in the human body is the tongue and the hardest muscle is the chin. (That was just a fun fact I found interesting).
So moral of the story is to build muscle and you will look good and feel good on the inside and out.
