Why muscles are so important

The human body has around 650 muscles – and they need to be activated and stimulated. Because they move, support and protect our bodies. “For this reason, you should plan two strength training sessions per week for all major muscle groups – leg, arm, chest, abdominal, back and shoulder muscles,” says Ronald Ecker, general and sports medicine specialist in Marchtrenk and co-speaker in the Upper Austrian Medical Association.
