How To Use Your Arms While Running #Running #shorts

Using your arms properly while running can help improve your running form and overall performance. Here are some tips on how to use your arms while running:

Keep your arms relaxed: Avoid tensing up your arms, as this can waste energy and cause unnecessary strain. Keep your arms relaxed and loose.

Bend your elbows: Your elbows should be bent at about a 90-degree angle. This helps to reduce unnecessary upper body movement and allows you to generate more power in your stride.

Swing your arms forward and back: Your arms should swing naturally forward and back, not side-to-side. Your hands should swing back to about hip level, and then forward to about chest level.

Don't cross your midline: Avoid crossing your arms across your body's midline while running, as this can cause your upper body to twist and throw off your balance.

Use your arms to help with momentum: Your arms can help you generate momentum and power in your stride. Try to time your arm swings with your leg movements, so that your arm swings forward with your opposite leg.

Keep your shoulders relaxed: Avoid hunching your shoulders or shrugging them up toward your ears. Instead, keep your shoulders relaxed and down, with your chest slightly lifted.

By keeping these tips in mind and practicing proper arm movement, you can improve your running form and become a more efficient runner.
