MUSCLES
If you're able to walk, you'll use over 200 muscles during a walk. If you're laughing about that fact, you're using at least 17 muscles right now. You use your muscles for every movement you make. Did you know your tongue is the strongest muscle? It's a shame you can't train it in a gym like you would some other muscles. By the way, muscles can't push. Only pull. That's why there's a muscles on either side of a bone, so it can be pulled in 2 different directions. Thumbs up for all these facts? If you do so, acknowledge that you're only using the muscles in the palm of your hand. Your fingers don't have any muscles at all!
