arm swinging
Walking motion naturally
Arm swinging is the natural back-and-forth motion of the arms while walking or running, counterbalancing the movement of the legs.
It happens automatically for most people: Her arm swinging seemed exaggerated as she marched down the hall.
The term also describes deliberate arm exercises or warm-up movements.
