Or are you all funny little arms and great big bulbous legs?
That is the danger we all face ... beware!

Are you balanced?

There should be an Opinion Poll attached to this thread, but I'm always happy to advance science by answering your survey questions
I'm balanced ok, but sometimes sway a little in a strong wind or after consuming alcohol.

I have got very thin, weedy arms.
But on the other hand, I used to get called "Thunder Thighs" when I was a child because they were massive. I also used to get called a frog because before I could walk, I used to hop about everywhere as I had a condition known as 'Club Foot'. Where I have no arches in my feet forcing them inwards (quite a bit better now though).

Proper cyclist.... big legs weedy arms.
Add in a funked up left side of my spine - muscles are a wreck on the left of my spine after my accident - need some real serious work I've just been told by an 'expert'.

If I wasn't quite so ... errr ... "well covered" (ahem!), I too would be thin as a rake. I'm somwhere between a Mesomorph and an Ectomorph (long rangy arms and legs, slim waist, but broad shoulders). The trouble is that my waist is currently catching my shoulders up (due to the consumption of cake, among other things) and my bottom half and top half have grown noticeably weedier over the last six weeks of doing bugger all due to illness! Soon I'll just be a belly with stick arms and legs ... Oh the shame ...
Normally my bike keeps my bottom half all toned and manly and going to the gym keeps the top half all toned and manly. I'm thinking about returning to rock climbing in the spring though and ditching the gym - that makes you unbelievably strong all over. The gym just seems to give you big muscles which aren't actually that strong (not compared to how strong I was when I was doing a lot of climbing).

Guy at work is well balanced.

Balanced legs and arms but roundish belly. Youngest granddaughter always tickles my belly when I wear a t-shirt saying "Ickle ickle"

My arms are a little on the thinner side but considerably stronger then they look.
I think my legs are my best looking part, but not to actually look at.

I'm usually pretty balanced, but last night, as I was playing knight in shining hi-vis for two damsels in distress on CS3, I slowed down to offer my help. As I was stopping I caught my front wheel on a small bit of raised brickwork and down I went, still clipped in! Definitely not one of my most balanced moments.
Their look of consternation might have been concern for my physical wellbeing. On the other hand, it might have been concern for my mental wellbeing. They did look a bit ''Uh oh, I think we've got a nutter here!''
(Oh, my body's too long for my legs. And my nose points somewhere off to the left, à la Stephen Fry.)
