      Oooo interesting question. I would say perhaps the heart as it is a group of muscles that never stops working.

      The muscles in the eyes are really active, and even keep moving when you are asleep!

      Your heart pumps all the time, around 60 times a minute. It’s made of a special type of muscle, which is different from the muscles in the rest of your body, to allow it to work as much as it does.

      The heart beats from just before you were born till the end of your life. For an average of 60 beats per minute for 80 years, that’s about just over 2.5 billion times.

      I have had a long think about this. I would think it would vary from person to person. For me I think one of the muscles in my back as I use that all the time I am sitting up, walking, running and biking.
