Stop Doing This With Your Arms (and Walk Properly)

Im watching this so my classmates stop calling me Roblox and my family calling me abnormal

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.

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

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!

But how do you look at your mobile device?

if we as kids , toddlers, spent much time with parents we seem to focus one and adopt their gate,
i walk like my Father .people say i walk like a farmer with 2 buckets of ''something'' ....

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.

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.

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 😊👍🏾

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.

Hello our great Doctor.

Any videos on rotator cuff rehab?

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.

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 love that giraffe t-shirt!

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

My watch won't register my steps if I don't exaggerate my arm swing!

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

Hard to believe folks don't know how to walk.

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