Question

What muscles do you use while running?

Answer 1

Primarily, one uses the leg and arm muscles. If you're really working your butt off, though, you may feel some of your other muscles working. I remember one particular hard track practice in which I felt it in my abs, back; you name it, it hurt, lol.

Answer 2

all of them...

Answer 3

your quads, hamstrings, calfs, soleus, upper arm muscles, possibly your but muscles, and if you have good form and keep your elbows back then your upper back/shoulder muscles as well. Just to name a few.

Answer 4

Soleus, Gastrocnemius, rectus femoris, vastus medials, vastus lateralis, bicep femoris, gluteus maximus, psoas major, illiacus, tibialis posterior, tibialis anterior, rectus abdominis, and peroneal muscles to name a few.
