Ever notice how weird we are when we walk?
I'm talking about arm swingage.
Why do we swing our arms like that. Why? Are we "pumping" ourselves? Or is it because they're just hanging there, like two limp sausages, and we let them flop around as we stroll along?
I was watching people swing their arms this morning, and I kept breaking into giggles and getting looks. Try it, and see if you can do it without laughing.
Of course, the Summer of George proved that not swinging your arms while walking is also ridiculous.

My running trainer let us run without moving our arms once. Conclusion: you drop over. It's a coordination thing or something.
At least we get soundly beat by the pigeons when it comes to silly extra movements whilst walking... I get neck pain just watching them!
walking is a controlled fall. You need to swing your arms for balance. The windmilling arms of someone who's just tripped on the kerb and is about to faceplant on the concrete are merely an exagerrated version of normal arm movement whilst walking.
