When you first arrive in SL you'll find you have a really jerky and annoying walk. There are plenty of animation overriders (AOs) which basically over-write your default walk with a nice smooth one.
Most newbie kits (free at various stores) give a basic animation over-rider - usually a walk and a sit pose. You can also find some free ones at Free Dove and New Citizens Incorporated (NCI)
When you buy one, animation overriders will come with a variety of animations - for walking, standing, sitting, flying, landing, crawling etc.
Prices range up to 1000L depending on the number of animations included. I've seen some nice basic ones around for 450 - 600L
The animations themselves are contained in a HUD which you wear - by right clicking and selecting wear. You can then turn it on and off at will - often for instance, when you sit on something, your sitting animation might need to be turned off, in order to use the pose in the chair. You can also add new animations as you find them - full instructions should come with the AO, explaining how to add new animations to the notecard attached.
The following are great places to find an animation overrider (links to be added tomorrow):
The animations warehouse (a sim full of all the main SL animators)
Abranimations
Reel Expressions
