Strong and healthy muscles matter. There is really no other way to say it. Your muscles allow you to move freely, send blood throughout your body, lift things, and promote independence.

Without strong muscles, you’re at risk for increased dependence and a host of health troubles. Muscles even play a role in ways you might not necessarily think about. Breathing, joint pain, and heart health are all improved by healthy muscles.
