No!!! Your body has both voluntary and involuntary muscles. The voluntary ones are the ones that you can freely move yourself. Bending your arm, pick up heavy objects ect. The involuntary muscles are the ones you have no control over. For example the beating of your heart, inhaling and exhailing or vomitting are among some of the involuntary muscles.
