Each week, we’ll dive into exciting topics like:

🔍 Types of muscles (skeletal, smooth, and cardiac)

⚙️ How muscles work (contracting, relaxing, and teaming up with bones!)

📍 Muscle names and locations in our bodies

🏋️ Building strength through exercise

🥦 Caring for our muscles with healthy food and habits

Through fun lessons, activities, videos, and movement challenges, students will gain a strong understanding of how their bodies work—and how to keep them healthy and strong for life!
