A hug primarily engages the pectoral muscles in the chest, which help to bring the arms together. The deltoids in the shoulders are also activated to lift and position the arms. Additionally, the biceps in the upper arms play a key role in flexing the elbows during the embrace. Lastly, the muscles of the back, particularly the latissimus dorsi, assist in stabilizing the shoulders and maintaining posture while hugging.
