D is the way to go. Leg exercise is like the leg press of the cardio world - it just demands more from your body.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe I should've skipped leg day and focused more on my arms. Then I'd know the answer for sure!

This is a tough one, but I'm going to have to go with A. Arm exercise is less intense, so the blood pressure shouldn't spike as much.

I was torn between B and C, but I'm going with C. Arm exercise just doesn't seem as taxing as leg exercise, so the systolic pressure would be higher.

I think D is the correct answer. Leg exercise requires more muscle mass and should result in greater oxygen consumption at peak work load.

I think the answer is D) At the peak work load, oxygen consumption is greater with leg exercise because legs are larger muscles.
