✅ 5 Surprising Health Benefits of Walking (And Why You Should Do It Everyday) – According To Science
https://youtu.be/eY2FkUwmsb0
Excellent information. I’m autistic. The elevator music is hard on mind. I am heading quickly towards being on this planet for three quarters of a century. I have been pulling a sled filled with firewood backs for many winter seasons. Add barefoot walking to your daily routine will greatly enhance your overall fitness level. I’m know as Barefoot Mick Canadian version.
I'm 70 and weight train. I had an LCL sprain last year in my left leg. The previous week (I think) I was on my last lap of sled pulls when I experienced a sharp pain on the outside of the upper leg (hamstring?). Next week, the LCL suddenly gave out. I followed a course of Physical Therapy. After a month's rest, I returned to the gym. Sled pulls and leg curls came off my program (I work with a trainer). Leg curls are back, and I manage to do Deadlifts and Squats without a problem. I have noticed that, any time I have muscle spasms, it tends to be when I'm unloading the muscle. Maybe my brain/muscle connections don't allow smooth relaxing of the muscle (maybe an age thing?). Two weeks ago, I tried walking backward on the gym's treadmill (without power) but it didn't move so I switched it on slow. As soon as I stepped off of it, the left knee felt very sloppy. The same thing happened last week when I tried to pull an unloaded sled. It was uncomfortable and the knee seemed really sloppy when I stepped out of the harness. I'm not giving up. I've regressed to just walking backwards 10 minutes in my hallway at home. Hopefully I can progress.
what about cycling. backwards
Quad STRENGTH significantly INCREASES w backward walking. 😮❤
If you have need of PROOF that what you're saying here is TRUE– I"M IT. I got mashed between 2 trucks in 99 and I'm STILL trying to get over it.. (25 years later).. I'm having constant pains– and can't sleep because of it- I got so couldn't work out at all- and sitting around caused MORE issues of course. I've done some of your stuff- and was doing the knees over toes before I ever heard of you (part of my martial arts I use to do).. and these SMALL efforts – compared to a regular workout– Will yield GREAT benefits quickly!!!
I walk a rectangle. Forward 4 steps, 2 steps to the right, backwards 4 steps, left 2 steps.
I'm trapped if a fuel kiosk, do it while watching customers
Great information, I will definitely try it. Thank you.
How about walking backwards up the stairs? Any experience, advice anybody, pls? TIA
Need a visual support …
Ok i Will wait for you next Video Tq🙏
HAPPY SUNDAY GBU
Far better but much harder is upside down and backwards!
I've been doing it for many years. Also known to stimulate our brain function because the brain is trained to move our body in a completely different way.
I'm starting to running on my treadmill backwards. It makes my knee pain go away. Slowly running.
I like to fill a shopping cart up at the grocery store with gallons of water and pull it backwards through the aisles.
I walk backwards on the treadmill at the gym. I also put it on a high incline the burn is insane.
Backwards walking on the treadmill set at a high incline and with a 10kg plate in each hand (the ones with the hand grip holes). 5 minutes of this between other leg exercises. Also, when you can't get to the gym drag a wheelbarrow backwards loaded up with an appropriate weight back and forwards along a pathway at home
Better than pulling something, is to wear a backpack with one or two dumb bells, which is rucking. I have been walking backwards this way while also walking the dog; great exercise!
