When we walk, do our arms swing with or against the rhythm of our legs?
Answer: ✅
Some people swing with and some people's arms swing against their legs. A normal arm swing is what researchers call moving our left arm forward as we step with our right foot, and vice versa. Swinging our arms in sync with our legs—putting our left foot forward with our left arm out—is much harder on our body. Walking causes the body to sway in a way that makes the arms move naturally. So when we walk, our arms begin to swing naturally without much effort from our arm muscles.
