It really depends on the exercise. if you're using your arms, like pull-ups or push ups, then its your upper body, if you're using your legs, like jumping and running, then its your lower body, and if you're curling in your body or lifting up your legs or twisting, its probably your core.

Answer 4

any muscle can be used for lifting. A standard lift ie lifting a box from the ground utilises the anterior tibialis, soleus, gastrocnemius, semispinalis, semimembranosis, bicep femoris, tensor facia late, gluteus maximus, all of your quads, all of your spinal erectors, trapezius, scalenes, capitus muscles, deltoids, rhomboids, teres minor and major. all of your rotator cuff muscles, biceps, brachialis, forearm muscles, the muscles in your feet and hands. They all work in unison in this type of standard lift. Main movers are Quads, Glutes, Traps, Spinal erectors, Abdominals and Shoulders.
