Which Part of Your Body Is the Strongest?

July 16, 2009

I try hard to strengthen my body as a whole, but because of all the running, biking, and yoga I do, my legs are definitely the strongest part on my body. How about you?

My chest and shoulders together are stronger. My legs are weaker then they should be.

Legs are supposed to be the strongest part of the body for men and women. I found that most women have much stronger legs then they think.

Rock climbing has made my body pretty strong all over- but my legs are definitely the strongest

Legs, for sure. Gosh, I wish I could say my core is my strongest part! Definitely working on that.

Considering that I can squat more weight than my husband (who's twice my size), I'd have to say my legs. I think women in general have stronger legs because they HAVE to...we have to carry babies around for 9 months; that takes quite a bit of endurance!

I heard from a trainer that legs tend to be the strongest body part for women. Looks like the results of the poll fit that idea.

My legs! I think that naturally women have stronger lower halves. It's incredible how weak my arms & upper body still are even after lifting weights, yoga, and push ups...something ain't right.

My legs, with my abs a close second. My arms are so weak but I'm working on that.

My lower back is actually my strongest, but my abs are still week. (Legs are a close second.)

I've always had freakishly strong man-arms, no idea why! Every time I get a shot, the nurse asks me if I play tennis lol

well my legs are strongest, but my most impressive LOOKING feature is my arms, bc they're better toned. I tend to gain muscle mass, so it's really easy for me to get big guns, unfortunately :P

Overall, my body is equally strong as a whole. I do exercise my whole body, as balance and symmetry is important to me. I have a shapely upper body, core, and lower body. Because of this, I think I move well, as my entire body is well-conditioned. With that said, I think I do have an Achilles' heel. It's my lower back. Due to an injury when I was a teenager, my lower back is a little sensitive, and it's the first part to complain when I'm fatigued. Per my medical check-ups, I'm fine, but I do need to guard it sometimes.

My legs — for sure.
