While wearing trousers which leg do you put in first?
Left?
Right?
Have you ever tried consciously to change the way you pull up your trousers/jeans? Do you think your brain has got used to the way and you do it as a routine?
Have you tried changing this to test your level of speed?
I always put my right leg first. But when I wondered about this, I tried changing. Then I found I was a bit slow. :)

Actually, I have only jumped into my pants for the fun of it ot because I'm in a rush and I don't have time to put just one leg in at a time. I cannot remember the last time I put my pants on by putting one leg in first.

Heehee. Ok. Thats a good one, aznbeast4life. :)
But if you have time can you try doing this: If you are a right-handed person, can you try writing or holding something with you left hand and tell me if you are as agile as you would be normally. (That is if you are not ambidextrous!)
You may also want to try something like combing your hair with your left hand if you normally do it with your right. Things like this, I read somewhere make our brains work more harder and sharpen our reflexes. :)
Do share your thoughts on this.

Some scientific study had identified that there is a connection between the way you use your right and left limbs to do some actions and the way your brain is wired. The more you become ambidextrous, the more sharper both sides of your brain becomes. :)

yes even I think that if righr handers try their left hand to do certain stuff it sharpens the mind. As the left part of the brain is connected prominently to the right part of the body and vice versa so the right handers tend to use left part of the brain often. Now if we try using our left hands we will start using our right part of the brain also significantly. So this can sharpen our brains.

To be very frank when I first read this question I was not actually sure of the answer. I had to actually try it to be sure that I actually put my right leg in first. I tried putting my left leg in first but as you have mentioned it was slow and it was difficult to balance also. I feel this depends on weather a person is right handed or left handed. Don't know if this is entirely correct or not.

Yes you are correct.
Right handed persons put ther right leg first.
I think it has to something to do with brain function.
So if you try to change it I think the brain gets confused

I don't know if this depends solely on whether you are left handed or right handed. Is it always that right handed people will put their right leg first?

Yes Vasavi20. You are right. Normally all of us use their right leg first. But, by chance is there a chance that someone uses their left leg first? I am curious as I have always wondered about many such things. If you are a right handed person, have you tried to trick your brain by doing things with your left hand?
Thanks for sharing. :)

I put in my left leg first. I think I should try making changes like you did to see how quickly I am able to do so.

Yes yogambal. Pls do try it. You will be surprised to see that you are a bit slow when you do something you are not used to. Your brain will take a while to work out the logisitcs. After a day or two you will become quicker. :)

A nice topic for discussion.
But I do not wear trousers. But if I were to
wear a trouser what will happen?
Let me think. I think I also will put my right leg first
Happy mylotting

Lol. 
This is an interesting question. I always put my right leg first. I think I never did this consciously. I am a right handed person. I think that makes me put the right leg first. I am curious to know the response of a left handed person on this topic.
