arms and legs
Body's major limbs
Arms and legs are the four limbs of the human body—two upper appendages for reaching and manipulating, two lower for standing and walking.
The phrase often emphasizes bodily exertion or risk: It cost an arm and a leg means extremely expensive.
To give your right arm for something is to want it desperately.
