Today I’m going to share a quick primer on how muscles work. This can be a point of confusion for teachers so it’s helpful to go through it. It’s also something that gets referred to a lot in teaching with words like “strengthen” or “lengthen” or phrases like “contract your (fill in the blank)” so it’s really important that you understand some of the essentials around the mechanics of how muscles work. I want you to be confident in what you’re sharing in class and one of the best ways to build your confidence is to really know the mechanics and detail behind what you’re saying.
