Prime movers provide the major force that we have for a specific movement. These mover muscles are responsible for causing a certain joint to move. For example it can produce a force that accelerates a limb around its joint, in a certain direction. Antagonists are capable of opposing the movement of a joint. This is usually a muscle that is located on the opposite side of the joint from the agonist. An example would be the triceps, which is an extensor of the elbow joint, being the antagonist for

do not respond well to insulin, the hormone that allows the body to convert blood glucose into energy or store it in the cells to be used later. The problem is insulin resistance, although insulin can attach normally to receptors on the liver and muscle cells, certain mechanisms prevent insulin from moving to glucose in these cells. As a result body makes more insulin, this is not bad in the beginning stages but through later stages of diabetes insulin resistance increases and blood glucose levels

Fast Track to a Flat Belly Thanks to 5 decades of research and nearly 90 studies, scientists have zeroed in on the best moves to flatten your belly. The secret is to really fatigue your abs -- not an easy task, because they’re used to working all day to keep you standing tall. But we created a routine that, when combined with regular cardio, does it in just four moves. How do we know for sure? We had nearly a dozen women test the program as part of our Prevention Fitness Lab. All our testers lost
