Go to any park in China, you will cross elderly Chinese walking backwards. Why ? There is an old belief that walking backwards for 100 steps is equal to walking forwards for 1000 steps. According to traditional medicine, backward walking exercises muscles that are not used in ordinary walking. It’s more tiring, therefore it gives you a better cardio workout. It stimulates your brain, since you break your routine and move in an atypical way.
Some superstitious Chinese also believe that walking backwards would help to CORRECT THEIR PAST MISTAKES. Nothing scientific. This post is just for fun and tell you the story behind a millenary habit. If one day you want desperately to correct a past mistake, why not try to walk backwards for 100 steps? Sometimes, miracles do happen 😊.
