Day 333-Swingers

When you walk, what do you do with those arms?

Do you hold them like this, thinking that you're getting a better workout?



Or, is your style more Sasquatch-like?


Believe it or not, Bigfoot's walking style is better for you. 

Pumping your arms while holding them at that 90-degree angle doesn't do anything except overuse your shoulder girdle and encourage rib-thrusting and eventual shoulder impingement. 

All things that can aggravate your modern-living body and give you neck, shoulder, back and wrist pain. 

Personally, I think Bigfoot looks cool. Easy. Relaxed. And he's getting as good a workout, nay, a better workout than the cookie with no rear end in the picture above. Noticed the size of his butt muscles. He's using his posterior to propel him, not his hip flexors. 

Be like Bigfoot. Swing them like a Sasquatch. 

Believe, 
Dani

  1. Isn't the girl running? And would that kind of arm-swinging be as bad in that case?
