No, unless the mechanisms by which these traits are acquired are inherited, subject to variation, and found in patterns of nested hierarchies.

They are passed along to offspring.
The two concepts of the inheritance of acquired characteristics plus use and disuse of traits.
muscles
Acquired traits. Because evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms and acquired traits, such as muscles built by working out, can not be inherited genetically ( by alleles ) so are not " hard " inheritance. Some things like methylation of genes are passed epigenetically, but this does not quite qualify as acquired traits.

Acquired Traits/Characteristics
Acquired traits are those characteristics of an organism that develop during life as a result of injury, illness or other life process. For instance, lameness and stiffness in older animals are acquired traits often caused by arthritis. In contrast, a congenital trait is one that is present at birth, such as lameness due to a bone that did not develop properly.
No. Natural selection is the differential reproductive success of varying inherited traits. Acquired traits do little to affect the inheritance of traits, except through epigenetics.
