Excerpt: Whenever you walk or run, play an instrument, or turn a page of book, muscles move your body. Even when you’re still, muscles are at work, moving your eyelids each time you breathe. Your muscles are always moving, even when you are fast asleep. Muscles make up about 40 percent of normal person’s body weights. Fat, by contrast, makes up only about 10 percent. IN addition to the 640 muscles that you control, such as your arm and leg muscles, there are many muscles that you don’t control. Among these are your stomach muscles, which aid the digestion your food, and heart muscles, which keeps blood pumping through your body.
