Hey Joel,
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing facts you have here! I think my favourite is the one about 17 muscles to smile but 43 to frown! That is really interesting.
This reminds me about all of the functional movements that my muscles are doing while I am at the gym! I didn't realise that I was pulling not pushing!
Is there a way that you could make this post more eye catching so that people will stop and read it? Maybe you could add a picture? Or use piktochart to share the information - even a slide could be cool!
Hey Joel,
ReplyDeleteJust checking in... still waiting for that picture :)
