Is it normal to get asked "do you work out?" i'm female.

I've noticed that every so often random people will ask me if I work out. I used to work out and lift weights when I started playing basketball at around 16. Now I'm 28 and I still get asked this question.

Does this happen to anyone else, any females in particular?

To me I think it's odd that random people who I will probably never see again ask me this question. Why do they want to know? Why do they care? So what if I do? Or if I didn't and I just have big arms why does it matter?

The don't usually ask any follow up questions. Just if I do sports or once someone even asked if I was in the military, which I'm not.

Ok, enough of my rant. Pleas anyone let me know what you think. I also notice men are usually the ones to ask me about it.

      Hmm, I don't know. It's not like they want to get my number or something later. I'm not in the best shape. Just average I believe. And I've had atleast one woman ask the same thing. However I am bisexual and my ex gf was always commenting on my arms. They aren't too toned at the moment. Just big and not consisting entirely of flab.

    They don't ask me.
    But then I'm out of shape, so I guess it's pretty obvious I don't!

    There is obviously some about your build that looks like you lift weights or work out...that stands out of the ordinary...I ask people this when the are muscular etc...because I want to know do they work at it or is it natural...some fucking people are naturally brick shit houses

    I still look very feminine, but I run cross country and lift (heavier) weights so I have pretty big/toned muscles for a girl and I do get asked a lot! I even have some guy friends who are jealous of my arms

    They're just curious about your shape / muscles.

    I have muscular legs (which I inherited) but get asked the question almost every time I go out.

      Actually I'm not in "great" shape anymore. I just have big arms apparently. I measured them yesterday. 13' relaxed and 14'flexed. The rest of me is just average and I've got a little softness in he belly area and even my arms.
