Everywhere, there exists movement with this expanse of trees and grass and temples. All ages–from 9 to 99–are here, practicing Tai-chi and Sword Arts, swinging their arms, rubbing their kidneys, rotating their waists, and hanging from low-hanging tree branches (to stretch their spines).

Amid pretty much everything, is something which makes me rub my sleepy eyes and look again: groups of women are walking backwards inside the lane. Just that: walking backwards, calmly and confidently.

This ancient exercise (yes! It is an exercise!) is one of the treasures of Chinese health practice, addressing issues of balance, leg strength, back strength, and posture. It may seem simple, however the logic behind why it is a sound practice are profound. Once you a few:

1. As we grow older, our fear of falling causes us to be react wrongly. When babies fall backwards, they merely plump as a result of a sitting position, but this tendency disappears as we grow older. Many falls find yourself going backward because we arch our backs. Walking backwards rounds that section of our back that people arch, and encourages ‘forward’ muscle use.

2. Exactly what is wrong regarding your posture originated walking forward! Slumping, slouching, rounding, arching…all those bad habits. Walking backwards reverses these habits.

3. From an energetics standpoint, walking backwards actually re-frames consciousness in our bodies. The straightforward explanation is our attention will favor top of our bodies for the exclusion of what’s behind us. Chinese health and martial exercises both encourage ‘whole body’ awareness for ‘whole body’ health. Walking backwards creates a ‘sensor’ to integrate the bradenton area.

4. Walking backwards actually engages very different groups of muscles. This will be relevant especially as we grow older, since we lose flexibility and our flexibility often diminishes. By making use of different muscles we exercise parts of our own bodies that need attention.
