Walking backwards can help people relieve back pain. The reason is that walking backwards is more in line with the physiological curvature of the human body, which can relax the tension of the neck and waist to a certain extent, enhance the balance ability and strengthen the exercise of the lumbar muscles.

However, there are several points to pay attention to when walking backwards in fitness.

(1) Go backwards with reference. Beginners should swing their arms naturally to keep their balance. Lean forward first, and your legs droop naturally when you walk. Carefully touch the ground with your toes and then transition to the whole foot, with your center of gravity in front, so that you won't trip even if you step on it slightly.

(2) Beginners should choose a flat venue with few people. At first, the speed should be slow, the steps should be small, and the walking time should be short. After practicing for a long time, you can try to speed up, enlarge your steps and extend the time of walking backwards appropriately.

Tips

Walking backwards must be done according to one's ability, especially for the elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and exercise according to the doctor's advice. When the sick old people do exercise, it is advisable to sweat a little and not feel chest tightness. Never press blindly, causing the body to be overwhelmed.
