Learn how to ride a bicycle. Most of your muscles are involved. If you had to actively think of when to control which muscle you’ll never be able to ride.

You start by daddy holding the frame and pushing you. So you practice to steer and keep your balance – first group of muscles trained.

No you try to ride on your own, next group of muscles involved. But starting and stopping is still not easy because the single groups are not trained to work together yet. With every start and stop they get more used to it.

During all that training your supercomputer ( brain) writes a program about when to use which muscle.

Later when you hop on a bicycle, your brain will automatically start the program and you don’t have to think about it anymore.
