The stronger your body, the more you can do.
You can carry more books! … jump higher!
… run faster!
A body made up of strong muscles work better. It uses up food as fuel instead of letting it turn into excess fat.
Are your Muscles Strong?
Can you see your muscles when you flex? Are they firm to the touch? If so, you’re probably pretty strong.
It’s important to realize that you don’t need to have every muscle bulging out so that you look like a body builder. But you should look firm not flabby and soft. Remember, muscles grow when you grow. If you know you’re strong but can’t see your muscle, wait until you’re older. Then you muscle development will show.
