She prepares herself ("her hips") to be strong, and she makes her arms f ull of energy.

She prepares herself to do things quickly and carefully (Ralbag). She always does her best - whether she is doing something for her family or working outside her home (Malbim). On a deeper level, the "hips" that support the body, stand for those who support the Torah. By giving money and encouragement to those who learn Torah, we give them strength and energy to learn (Me'am Lo'ez).
