Here is a simple way to switch up your walking routine, according to experts: try going backwards.
Taking a brisk walk is an exercise rich in simplicity, and it can have impressive mental and physical benefits: stronger bones and muscles, cardiovascular fitness, and stress relief, to name a few. But like any workout, hoofing it for your health may feel repetitive and even boring after a while.
Backwards walking, also known as retro walking or reverse walking, could add variety and value to an exercise routine when done safely. Turning around not only provides a change of view but also puts different demands on your body.
