This is important while walking so the pectoral muscles don't become too tight, decreasing nerve and blood flow to your arms on both sides. I am onlyguessing this is the case. You should ask your doctor. Also check if you walk a little bit with your shoulders rounded. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
