Growing Stronger. (Food for Growth).
When Tina Foster does a back walkover in gymnastics, hundreds of muscles in her body are working together. Of course, she doesn't think about that. She just thinks--bend back, first hand, second hand, first foot, second foot.
The muscles in Tina's body and in your body are attached to bones. Your bones are hard, but your muscles bend and stretch. Your muscles allow you to move.
You need to eat foods from the meat group to help your muscles grow. Exercise also helps your muscles grow. When you exercise, you use your muscles. Using muscles is what keeps them in tiptop shape.
Stretching your muscles is important before you do any type of exercise. Stretching helps get your muscles ready for exercise.
