Stop Doing This With Your Arms (and Walk Properly)

[@mariewilliams8382]

I have always thought that swinging your arms gives more exercise to your waist area, but after watching your video, I will change my style of walking from now on. You make your videos so much fun whilst giving serious information which is valuable to learn from. You are a wonderful person.

[@rosebuddanielle967]

Thanks for the very helpful info! I will be paying attention in the future to how I walk and/or use my arms.

[@sonicfrog2448]

I’ve been told I walk like a robot and been made fun of behind my back while doing so. Now I’m very self conscious everytime I walk from how my arms swing to how fast or slow I walk. I will follow this video but do you have any other tips or suggestions.

[@trashchannel6869]

same. my legs and core are strong and I don't need to move upper body to walk. My arms swing very little and my upper body just floats without any jerk or up and down movements. This looks very unnatural to others. Even when I record my own video, I feel a bit awkward. Because even I'm not used to seeing someone who walk like this.

[@sonicfrog2448]

@@trashchannel6869 yes exactly what I’m going though I’m right there with you buddy. I pretty desperate right now. I see it more and more and it doesn’t help my job is working cameras and I see myself walking. I honestly don’t know what to do it’s getting tough to deal with. I’m glad I have someone that can relate.

Autism is so weird. Being on the spectrum means you have to be aware of problems most other people don't have. It's funny but also great to learn how to walk properly.

How about a video fixing foot placement? When I was 10 I broke my leg, and when the cast came off my gait had changed to compensate for then cast. Although I worked hard to correct foot placement I still after 40+ years catch myself with my foot out of alignment.

I don't naturally move my arms when I walk and now exaggerate it a bit just to look more "normal"

[@rr58315]

Really good points being made in this video! Just let them swing naturally is so simple, but people get too get caught up in optimizing every little thing or letting anxiety influence body posture.

Hello our great Doctor.

[@mindfulmomentswithColm]

Doctor Alekseev suggests extending the arm backwards. Maybe its more for power walking

[@saleemahfareed4790]

I enjoyed the video about walking I like ask you a question I was watching another Dr. About walking he said it’s good to walk backwards so I like your opinion about walking backwards thanks for sharing, Ps. I like your shirt 😊👍🏾

[@blueberrycranberrycherry2025]

It really crushes me cuz not only can’t I walk my arms, I walk very unstable and it is so frustrating

[@jirentheugly]

@@blueberrycranberrycherry2025 I can relate to your frustration a lot so hopefully you’re trying your best to improve your walking mobility/stability and remember that you’re more than your walk.

I laugh so much when I watch your videos. Laughing and learning! Thank you!

[@foggylog19]

Part of my current physio is to make sure my opposite hip and shoulder move forward as i step it seems awkward and i think of on the catwalk song every time. But physio said i am too stiff.so clearly I don't walk properly.

[@iidizzynuke6775]

I was looking for some kind of advice, I still feel like I have to manually walk, I've been told either that my upper body is a little stiff but its nothing to worry about/not noticeable, or I get told Iook like a stiff robot NPC, no in between. It feels like I have to force my body to move and it's never been comfortable, I've had this issue since 7th grade, I am now in grade 12. I even went to my doctor and she said it was fine, but it doesn't feel like my body is in sync even walking down to grab a glass of water is uncomfortable, I also went to a foot doctor because I thought maybe it could be a problem that stemmed from my feet but no my arches are fine and I still don't know what to do.

[@shabeebrahman8847]

@@iidizzynuke6775 I have this problem too I'm from India I got this problem from my 11 th age now I'm almost 25 , I think it's all about the way we thinking don't know how to deal it, I walk like robot, my legs are stiffy , can't make eye contact also🥹🥹

[@cicin101]

I find that when I walk fast, at about 128 steps per minute, I prefer to bend my elbow to about 90 degrees and pump my arms back and forth more dramatically than you illustrate. I do keep my arms close to my body, and they match my foot speed. It seems natural to move arms and feet in synch with each other. Of course when I stroll around, I don't bend my elbows or swing my arms so dramatically.

[@barbaraannmiller170]

It's my understanding that for brisk/fast walking the arms are supposed to be held differently just as with runners who hold their arms differently from those engaged in relaxed walking. I do brisk walking for exercise and I definitely have a very different arm position and swing from when I'm simply walking to get from one place to the next.

[@deborahdarcy6268]

People with a military background will also naturally swing their arms. not to the extent that they would in uniform, but perhaps more than most people do.

[@Cowboy7-C]

The other day I watched a guy walking and it looked like his arm was about go completely around. His arm was moving over 45 degrees in just walking speed.

[@kombajnista4626]

Everyone is making fun of me that i walk like a giraffe. I dont walk and dont walked any type of the ways showed in this video. I dont know what to do with it maybe i dont know how to settle my body. Idk what to do now.

[@RohanAaseri]

When ever i am walking with my friends or empty i walk like i am the master of my walk but as soon as i see a group of girls in front of me don't know what happens to me i starts walking differently, ii get nervous, starts thinking what they may be thinking😢. Is anyone here like me. I am trying my best to keep myself calm and cool and looking to avoid what others say, i am the master of life i am the master plan of walk

[@joefw2446]

I am a 63 yo just diagosed with Parkinsons. I have right arm tremor and stiffness. Recently noticed my right arm does not swing as normal like the left. Q: Does normal arm swing result from totally relaxed muscles in the arm or is it muscles being fired in coordination with the legs? Thanks so much!

[@jjj-bl8yf]

Have you tried THC/CBD?

[@Zeek-Tomo]

I saw a video that said we should swing our arms more when we are walking in order to get better exercise. Hence, while the Japanese man certainly looked strange and I wouldn't normally do what he was doing, when I walk for exercise, unless you explain more clearly and specifically about this, I will continue to swing my arms with more movement than normal.

[@Uprighthealth]

This is a marginal amout of extra exercise. You'd be much better served lifting light-medium weights rather than making your gait awkward and inefficient, in my opinion.

[@jessieelliott3157]

For some reason im getting Paul blart, mall cop vibes from that walk. Im going to try and film myself because i know i swing one arm more than the other.

[@Ash_williams278]

why is my arm longer then my torso and doesn’t swing?

[@Luke-bq4bz]

Thats how they are supposed to be lol, if your arms stopped at the waist you'd have arms like a T-Rex. My arms reach to just slightly above my knees, I can touch them standing if I reach.

[@Emmke]

So how you improve that? Can you explain? I mn I'm walking with my arms swinging too, so how did you manage to improve? Is it by stopping swinging the arms? How can I improve?

[@UmightBwrong]

I like the subject. But, I would love to have seen some actual or more accurate bad examples of improper movement instead of the super comically exaggerated examples that are unrealistic and hard to relate to.

[@sharonadams701]

Looks like weight lifter walk. They have such over done muscles , their arms csnt relax and swing properly 😂

[@Uprighthealth]

Not a bad guess. This guy, however, was very slender. Weightlifter walk is more like a waddle with very stiff arms.

It's actually common for some seniors. In my case I had brain surgery and had to learn how to walk again. Not so hard to believe for me
