What makes muscles grow?

What makes muscles grow? - Jeffrey Siegel

We have over 600 muscles in our bodies that help bind us together, hold us up, and help us move. Your muscles also need your constant attention, because the way you treat them on a daily basis determines whether they will wither or grow. Jeffrey Siegel illustrates how a good mix of sleep, nutrition and exercise keep your muscles as big and strong as possible.  LInk to youtube clip below



PE STUDENTS: Think about the factors in your life that affect your muscle growth.  What could you do to help produce more muscle growth?
consider: types/variety of exercise, amount of stress(loads) over time, nutritional and sleep factors.

 Hi PE students, A new year is another opportunity for a fresh start and goal setting in life.   I understand that signing up for this course is one thing, but it also very easy to wander away from it if you aren't active and successful.  Hey it is human nature to avoid things we don't succeed in!
