Walking Backwards Through Life<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Walking backwards takes the excessive stress off your knees, it reduces shear force, and it gives you a totally new perspective on things – a new point of view.<\/p>\n

Instead of moving closer to things, you are distancing yourself! You are moving towards your compelling future as you wave bye-bye, so long to the past.<\/p>\n

Walking backwards is more than a reversal of the forward motion. \u00a0It is a learned skill that requires practice. You\u2019ll be \u2018exercising\u2019 a new motor pattern, so it takes concentration. Your mind will be involved, as well!<\/p>\n

Walking Backwards Through Life may be a preferred route for you if you \u2026<\/p>\n

1. are rehabilitating from knee surgery,<\/p>\n

2. experiencing pain as you go up and down stars or hills,<\/p>\n

3. suffer from muscle strains of the hip, groin, hamstrings or lower<\/p>\n

back (greater stretch when walking backward),<\/p>\n

4. play sports that require running backwards (i.e. soccer, football,<\/p>\n

basketball),<\/p>\n

5. play sports in which you need to work on your ability to change<\/p>\n

direction rapidly, or \u2026<\/p>\n

6. are just plain bored and need a change of pace.<\/p>\n

How to start moving backward through life?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Best to try walking backwards on a slightly inclined slope or ramped treadmill. At some point, you may even jog backwards.<\/p>\n

Take 10 steps forward and 9 steps backwards (which should return you to your starting place). If this feels good, increase to 20 or 30 steps at a clip. Next, move to a slightly elevated place. And so forth!\u00a0 Got it?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re in good company! Champion Boxer Gene Tunney ran four to eight backward miles a day in his training.<\/p>\n

Muhammad Ali, known for his dazzling foot speed, used backward running in his roadwork.<\/p>\n
