Update on strange armpit noises... so I realised on my run this morning that I have a tendency to swing my arms across my body rather than pump them (no pun intended 😬) and I noticed pumping actions don’t induce armpit trumps.

Conclusion...less swing more pump πŸ’¨πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I’ve read somewhere that pump action arms are much more effective than swingers as well. Double bonus - silenced and easier.

Such a relief! I was beginning to think I was a bit strange 😬🀣

Our bodies were designed to embarrass us. Just look how ridiculous sex is.

That’s the ultimate in ridiculousness ...but a lot of fun πŸ˜¬πŸ€£πŸ’–

I think the logic goes that if you swing your arms across your body it wastes energy and a straight back and forward "pump" (ooh err missus) acts as an accelerator. Defo works going up hills.

And avoids those farting noises that alarm people and squirrels :-)

Anything to avoid unusual noises! I think I tend to be a β€˜swinger’ when I get tired during a run and get prone to form slippage. Defo Something to focus on!! πŸ€—
