Stand with your heels and back against a wall and try to bend over and touch your toes. You’ll find that you have to stand away from the wall to do so without toppling over. Compare the minimum distance of your heels from the wall with the distance for a friend of the opposite sex. Who can touch their toes with their heels nearer to the wall: men or women? On the average and in proportion to height, which sex has the lower center of gravity?

When you turn while running, you must lean in the direction of the turn or risk falling over. If you lean left as you turn left, why don’t you fall over to the left?
