Is it a good exercise for the elderly to walk backwards?
Old people walking backwards have two main advantages: 1. Walking backwards can strengthen sacrospinous muscles, thus preventing lumbar muscle strain and senile hunchback.

2. Walking backwards can improve blood circulation, relax waist muscles, change the movement direction of leg and foot muscles and joints, relieve the pain and pressure of heels, and help to treat diseases such as low back pain and lumbar muscle strain.

Note: You can choose to walk backwards in a flat and barrier-free place. Be safe. When walking backwards, it is best to hold the waist with both hands, which can protect both sides of the waist and reduce the vibration force borne by the body. Walking backwards is to achieve the fitness effect through abnormal exercise. Although it is good for the elderly, leisure sports should vary from person to person. If you can't see clearly and have poor balance, don't choose it to avoid accidents.
