Everywhere, there’s movement in 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 all of this, is something which makes me rub my sleepy eyes and appearance again: categories of women are walking backwards the lane. This: walking backwards, calmly and confidently.

This ancient exercise (yes! It’s an exercise!) is probably the treasures of Chinese health practice, addressing problems with balance, leg strength, back strength, and posture. It may look simple, though the main reasons why this is a sound practice are profound. Once you a few:

1. As we grow older, our anxiety about falling causes us to be react wrongly. When babies fall backwards, they merely plump right down to a sitting position, however tendency disappears once we grow older. Many falls end up going backward because we arch our backs. Walking backwards rounds that portion of our back we arch, and encourages ‘forward’ muscle use.

2. Precisely what is wrong about your posture originated in walking forward! Slumping, slouching, rounding, arching…all of the undesirable habits. Walking backwards reverses these habits.

3. From an energetics standpoint, walking backwards actually re-frames consciousness inside our bodies. The easy explanation is the fact that our attention tends to favor the leading in our bodies on the exclusion of what is behind us. Chinese health insurance and martial exercises both encourage ‘whole body’ awareness for ‘whole body’ health. Walking backwards creates a ‘sensor’ to integrate the therapy lamp.

4. Walking backwards actually engages completely different groups of muscles. This is very important especially as we age, because we lose flexibility and our flexibility often diminishes. By using different muscles we exercise aspects of our body which need attention.
