    Simultaneously swing the opposite arm forward and the other arm backward, maintaining bent elbows.

Secondary Muscles

While Run primarily targets Legs , this exercise also activates several secondary muscle groups during the movement. These supporting muscles include Abs . Engaging these secondary muscles helps stabilize your body throughout the exercise, improves overall coordination, and contributes to balanced muscle development.
