I was walking with a heart rate monitor and my heart rate didn't go up versus swinging my arms and stuff.
After much trial and error, I've found that the motion of running without moving forward efficiently raises the heart rate.
Is it because there is not much load on the muscles when I rotate my arms?
Is it because of the large leg muscles?
This motion is called a "slow jog."
Slow jog is good.
My wife and I can walk together and do slow jogs at the same speed as we walk, as appropriate.
We can load each other at our own pace.
Moving at the same speed so you can have a conversation and not get bored.
Can be restrained to a level of load that makes it impossible to have a conversation.
They say you should imagine jumping rope.
They can point out any lapses in form. - Left leg is distorted.
