  Everyone's body will respond differently to exercise. Experts say muscles indeed provide benefits but they are not an indication of overall fitness.


The article from MSN discusses the allure and implications of having a muscular physique, often showcased by celebrities and fitness influencers. It explores the difference between aesthetic muscles, which are primarily for appearance, and functional muscles, which contribute to physical performance and health. The piece highlights how social media and modern culture emphasize the visual appeal of muscles, leading to a rise in fitness trends focused on achieving a "beach body" or six-pack abs. However, it also points out the potential downsides, such as the pressure to conform to these ideals, which might not always align with overall health or functional fitness. The article delves into the science behind muscle building, the role of genetics, and the importance of understanding that while looking muscular can be appealing, the true value of muscles lies in their functionality, strength, and the health benefits they provide beyond mere aesthetics.
