Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal muscle

in our body are attached to the bone and the combination of bones, muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves enables us to move and control that movement. With a healthy level of skeletal muscle, we are capable of effective movement and exercise.

Increasing rather than just maintaining your skeletal muscle, and improving the quality of your muscle, will enable you to not just maintain movement and exercise, but to develop and improve it.
