Its an old trick/challenge we used to do as kids; actually it is dilemma of left cerebral hemisphere in the above example when you use right side limbs as they are controlled by left half. If you try the same thing with opposite limbs that is right arm and left leg or vice-versa with just little concentration and practice you will be able to do it.
But the other case as asked in question can be performed but only with people with great mind and body control and harmony like some very good martial artist or such. I remember one interview of Jackie Chan some time back he showed how easily he could do it and he didn't stop there he then showed how at same time make circle with one hand (in air of course) & simultenously square with other then so calmly raised his one leg( naturally not two legs remember gravity) & started moving it in triangles; then he also randomly changed the shapes between the mentioned limbs at will. Man he is good; now that is just an example but you get the Point.. I hope.

After some practice I can now do it. Interesting how the limbs of the same side really like to go the same direction.

Thanks for the answer.

Answer 2

yesssss. weird!

Answer 3

Yeah, thats though, but doable

and actually really easy if you use the foot on the opposite side to the hand you're using

Answer 4

Yes, it will change the rotational direction of the foot once you draw a number 6 on the air because the later will do on counterclockwise. But if you draw nos 6 on the air by starting on the middle of 6, to which is clockwise direction it would not be.

CUE: You can't walk on two opposite direction with one brain! LOL!

Answer 5

yes.....its not hard
