Does anybody only really work on your upper body? if so...why?

I try to work all over my body. I fail at it
But I suppose people work on their upper body to keep toned?

^same here, but I used to pay extra attention to my abs...good ol' times :')

My upper body is the main target when i ride because it takes an immense amount of upper body strength, but i don't go out of my way to concentrate on my upper body. It just happens that way lol

I would say it depends on what sport you play. If you play soccer then you probably will focus more on your lower body, but you should still workout your entire body.

The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism. Each muscle has a plateau and muscle growth decrease as your muscle gets bigger (if that makes sense). So it's harder to gain muscle if you already have muscle - pretty much. With that said, you would want to workout your entire body to maximize your muscle growth and thus increase your metabolism. Just something you should consider when working out.

I do Everyday at school sometimes weekend
why? Because i like sports specially soccer and running so i need to work out

I'm obsessed with doing crunches and other ab related exercises. I've being doing them for sometime now. First I did them to get abs, now I do them to maintain it
I'm going to start working on my back soon

I think most people do upper body bc legs get alot of workout already if you run or play sports already. Only real lower body stuff I do is during track season and it'stypically lunges.
