Researcher discovers a muscle that can promote glucose and fat burning to fuel metabolism for hours

10. I vaguely remember reading about this way back in my working days and found it fascinating.

Everyone focuses on the gastroc, the big 2 joint muscle but that little soleus is deceptively important.

Heel raises with an extended knee are usually easy. Flex that knee and try it again and you will be humbled.

An interesting aside - if you ever get a cramp in your calf it starts about 2/3 the way up the calf inside of midline. Feels like a hard pea that then locks up all the muscle fibers. That trigger point matches a Chinese meridian point.

The human body is cool!
