Don't follow the trend! Be careful not to ruin the rest of your life if you go this way

More and more people are beginning to pay attention to taking care of their bodies, especially at night, when many people take a walk after dinner. Walking is also an aerobic exercise, especially brisk walking, which can well exercise our cardiopulmonary function, improve immunity and lose weight. However, some people take the approach of walking backwards to exercise. Is this really good?

Walking backwards is not an ideal way to exercise

1. Easy to fall

We often look at the road conditions first and then walk backwards. However, while walking, it is difficult for us to know whether there will be any unexpected situations behind us, and it is easy to fall if there are obstacles. If there are vehicles, it will be even more dangerous.

2. Cannot exercise the heart and lungs

Brisk walking forward can exercise the heart and lungs, but walking backwards, out of caution, people will walk slower, which will not achieve the effect of exercising the heart and lungs.

3. Damage to the cervical spine

When walking backwards, since you can't see the road, you will turn your head from time to time to look at the road. In addition, walking backwards requires a strong ability of balance, so it is easy to damage the cervical spine due to excessive force on the spine.

These people are not suitable for walking backwards.

1. People with flat feet

People with flat feet often have a disappearance of the arch of the foot. Although they usually do not feel any discomfort, they often feel more tired when walking for a long time due to the uneven force. Walking backwards requires more physical strength, so it is not suitable for this group of people.

2. People with arthritis

Walking backwards can make arthritis worse and is very detrimental to the recovery of the disease. Patients with this condition must pay attention to this.

3. People with bad legs and feet

For many elderly people, their legs and feet are definitely not as strong as those of young people. In addition, their body balance has deteriorated and their brain reactions have become slower, making them more prone to danger. Therefore, when exercising, the elderly must choose an exercise that is suitable for them and safe, and this exercise is definitely not walking backwards.

There must be a reason why humans have been walking upright since their evolution. It means that walking upright is more suitable for the coordination of the human body and is more beneficial to the health of the body. Next time you go out to exercise, don't walk backwards blindly.
