Body Systems & Growth
📋 What it is
Your body runs on cooperating systems — heart & blood, lungs, digestion, bones & muscles — and growing bodies change at their own pace.
🗣️ Coach says
The body is a team of systems: the heart pumps blood, lungs bring oxygen, digestion turns food to fuel, bones and muscles move you. During these years, everyone grows and changes — at DIFFERENT times and rates, which is completely normal. Understanding your systems helps you take care of them and not compare your timeline to anyone else’s.

Systems cooperate: heart · lungs · digestion · bones+muscles. Everyone grows at their OWN pace — normal.

And your face.
😲 Whoa!
Your heart beats about 100,000 times a day without you ever thinking about it.
