What you will learn

Use comfortable arm motion during easy running. This TRAINOVIX lesson shows a simple setup, a specific practice action and a way to notice your progress without rushing.

Practice step by step

  1. Warm up with easy walking and movement on a safe, level surface.
  2. Start with a short walk and relaxed shoulders.
  3. Jog gently while swinging bent arms forward and back rather than across the chest.
  4. Notice whether your upper body feels relaxed.
  5. Rest between attempts and finish with easy walking.

Coaching tips

How to progress

Start with the simplest version of the activity. Give yourself enough time to learn the movement, ask for feedback when useful, and choose a more challenging variation only when your practice feels comfortable and controlled.
