Based on the workout you've described, the following muscle groups were utilized:

  1. Quadriceps - These muscles, located in the front of the thigh, are often engaged during exercises like squats and lunges.
  2. Pectoralis Major & Minor - These chest muscles are typically activated during pressing movements, such as push-ups or bench presses.
  3. Transverse Abdominals - This core muscle group is important for stability and is engaged during many compound movements.
  4. Gastrocnemius - This muscle is part of the calf and is worked during activities like running or jumping.
  5. Deltoids - The shoulder muscles are recruited during overhead movements like shoulder presses or lateral raises.
  6. Hamstrings - These muscles at the back of the thigh are activated during deadlifts and other hip extension exercises.
  7. Biceps - Located in the upper arm, these muscles are used during curling movements for the arms.

If you have any specific exercises in mind, I could further tailor the response to identify which of these muscle groups were most likely engaged.
