What if you walked without swinging your arms?
Im gonna try it.
I thought this article was amusing and interesting. i like science and i can read about the human body all day long.
Didn't think it would take a "trio of specialists and scientist to nail down why we swing our arms when we walk." But im sure relieved that we now have an answer..
I encourage my students from stage all the time to raise their arms up as high as they can on a specific move thats choreographed with arms. I ask them why we do it.... they look at me puzzled and sweaty and miserable growling under their breath... shut the hell up little girl and slow down!
we have a love hate relationship.
some of them answer "because we have to"... then i say yes true... but its the closet thing to our heart so it raises our heart rate faster than any other part of our body. and the move would be really hard to do with out them.
i love arms.
and i love raising them up
and giving hugs
and holding babies
and dancing freely
and flexing strongly
they hold me up
they hold someone else
they raise my heart rate
and swing when i walk
they show my heart
