General Notes
• There is a very slight "rolling" of the shoulders as the arms keep the body balanced with a pumping action
• The shoulder joint should be very supple so that as the arm swings through it do not pull them up too much
• The shoulder girdle and the hip girdle twist slightly in opposite directions, counter balancing each other
• The arms do not work to hard and work with the diagonally opposite leg
• The arm should swing loosely by the side and should be bent at around 90 degrees. As the arm swings back, there is little or no straightening
• Hands are held in a very relaxed "fist" with the thumb resting on the forefinger
• The thumb should be uppermost and the elbows hang close but comfortably into the side of the body
• The body is held upright with the back relaxed but straight with minimal forward lean
