I don’t necessarily recommend listening to that video but the long story short is, walking backwards, 10 minutes a day, for example, can have all kinds of physiological and cognitive benefits for you. he can lessen joint pains, lower back pains, increase your ability to not fall as you get older increase your cognitive loads so that your mind doesn’t degrade as much and so forth and so on.
and it makes sense from a common sense point of view. You’ve been walking forward for an eternity. Your brain doesn’t have to do anything new to walk forward. Start walking backwards and suddenly everything gets flipped. All kinds of learning processes are enacted and so forth.
Edit: You can even do forward and backward intervals, a type of interval training on your brain.

Also, you can walk in curves and change directions. All sorts of things to stimulate your brain.
Talking while walking also adds cognitive load. The sky’s the limit. Invent your own challenges. Multitask while you’re doing you’re boring daily exercise.
If you trip backwards, don't try and catch yourself by putting your hands down. I had a couple guys I played ball with break their wrists that way.
I think Monty Python silly walks are good for you too.

Been walking backwards alot since reading this thread. Pretty good at it.
Being backward seems to come naturally.
But that will undo all the steps i have taken...

I think you set yourself up for a lot of Snark with that one.But that will undo all the steps i have taken...
