Talking on the phone is often accompanied by physical activity. As it turns out, there are several reasons for this.

The first is that walking serves as a means of helping you focus and improve your thinking process.

Motor activity, which includes walking, stimulates blood flow to the brain, which is what actually improves attention.

The second reason is that moving while talking, whether on the phone or in person, relieves stress and emotional tension.

The brain experiences cognitive reboot when you are uncomfortable, have to lie, or experience anxiety.

As a result, certain parts of the body become toned – the same legs – and the person begins to move.

Finally, the desire to walk around with your phone pressed to your ear arises when you, even without realizing it, imitate your interlocutor.

There are a number of studies that have proven that two people talking, without realizing it, synchronize their postures and movements.
