You Are Electric: The Electricity Within-Your Superpower

The Muscular System: The Engine of Human Movement
The human body is built for motion. Every expression, every breath, and every heartbeat depend on one thing: your muscles. The muscular system is not just a network of tissue that powers strength — it’s a dynamic, responsive, energy-driven system that communicates with your brain, fascia, and bones to create movement, posture, and life itself.
