Animation Practice

Is there anything I can do to improve this walk cycle?

That's more a character taking a step than a walk cycle. You'll want to repeat it a few times so we get a sense of how this character moves.
I would recommend reading Richard William's book about animation because he spends about half of it on walks.

There is currently no movement with the hips themselves or upper body. There should be some follow-through going on, and also a bit of side-to-side movement to indicate shifting weight.

This is a good observation.
I'd like to mention that the most economic way to do a walk cycle for animation is to keep the character in place like they're walking on a tredmill. That way you can loop the animation forever and be sure your cycle lines up with itself.
It's also a lot easier to pick out issues if the cycle loops 3-4 times. Right now I think your arm is hitting the extremes before your feet, and that should be reversed.
I think I can see a little double bounce in the torso on the the first step, but a smooth movement on the second. - again hard to tell without a cycle.

What software is this? Does it have a graph editor?
