Can walking backwards help you lose weight? The results will definitely surprise you

I believe that everyone is unfamiliar with the method of walking backwards to lose weight. This method of weight loss was developed by a US research center. This weight loss method is favored by many obese people in the United States because walking backwards is more challenging than ordinary running.

Method and action: Let your hands hang naturally on both sides of the body, first step back with your right or left foot, with your toes touching the ground first and then your heels; you can also choose to put your hands on both sides of the body with your elbows bent and half-clenched fists like a jogging posture, changing according to the movement of your feet. Tips: Warm up well and move all the joints of the body; pay attention to the balance and coordination of the body during backwards walking, do not use the same hands or feet, control the center of gravity of the body, and breathe normally.

Precautions for walking backwards

1. Safety first: Do not practice on the road or on uneven surfaces. It is best to choose open and flat places such as stadiums, playgrounds, etc.

2. The following groups are not suitable for backward walking: the elderly, people with severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, severe bone diseases and mental patients. They should be extremely cautious.

3. Grasp the time: If you want to achieve certain results, you must persist in long-term exercise, and each exercise should last more than 30 minutes.

The benefits of walking backwards

1. Correct the spine. In people's daily life, whether walking or running, they move forward in one direction. The forward shift of the center of gravity and the forward tilt of the spine will inevitably cause the torso to bend. Over time, a hunchback will be formed, and the older you are, the more serious the hunchback will be. The principle of walking backwards to correct hunchback is that it moves the center of gravity backwards, which will inevitably have a corrective effect on the curvature of the spine (hunchback).

2. The principle of treating low back pain by walking backwards is the same as that of correcting the spine. Suddenly changing the direction of movement and center of gravity can have a good therapeutic effect on the lumbar spine.

3. To lose weight and benefit the brain, you must raise your head, chest, abdomen and hips when walking backwards, so as to consume more energy, even comparable to the energy consumed by jogging, especially for the consumption of stubborn fat in the waist, abdomen and buttocks. Walking backwards can give a person's cerebellum a good exercise.
